Good evening, This is Beach Sloth. Below are this week’s albums: Morton Feldman – Rothko Chapel/Why Patterns? One of my favorite pieces of music, Morton Feldman’s “Rothko Chapel/Why Patterns?” is perhaps Feldman’s best-known work. Performed over 130 times, it is the sort of thing that seems inherently at odds with Feldman’s demeanor. In real life, Feldman had one of those tremendous booming voices. Additionally, he lived in New York City, a boisterous place with noise from below, from above, and from side to side. You can often hear elevated trains, subways, poor drivers, angry people, and yelling.
