Boredoms ∩ Reich = {Gamelan}

Recorded in 1966 in Bali, this tune contains roots of: the throttling drum worship & wanton velocity lust that characterize late-period Boredoms; the devotion to subtly disrupted patterns and delicate melodies exemplified in Steve Reich’s most famous works. The enmeshing of these ostensibly contravening properties make for music equally notable for its fragility as for its brutality.
