SOUND X SOUND (17 min):
A film by Thomas Dyrholm, Anders Morre, Bjarke Underbjerg, Joachim Morre & Søren Kahr, which features the work of Danish composer Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard who turns sound inside out by multiplying instruments over and over again.
Løkkegaard:
I try to reinvent the instrument from a constructive zero. Create new music and create new ways of listening, and I work with multiplication of sound as a way to make the wellknown sound dissolve and reappear as a new sound.

I thought the hi hats would be a snazzy jazzy number with lots of swinging cool beats, maybe some brushed solos.
I was so disappointed, though it was still sort of cool like when a handful of friends beat a 50 gallon oil drum with sticks.

The recorders were particularly maddening, but it takes an unexpected turn at some point.

The clarinet piece had a definite Phill Niblock vibe to it.

A couple more pieces in this vein:
Science is Only a Sometimes Friend for eight glockenspiels (I heard this performed in a small, marble-lined room and it was intense)
Observations by Tristan Perich, known for his "1-bit Symphony"
My friend Juraj has a cool piece called Music for Music Stands worth checking out.
Less recent works: Vespers by Alvin Lucier (known for his notorious process piece "I Am Sitting In A Room")
Gyorgi Ligeti's Poeme Symphonique for 100 Metronomes

With regard to mass recorder performances, I must say NO THANK YOU SIR
The other day I heard another grade-schooler say to my youngest daughter, "You know that song 'Baby Shark'? I can play it on my recorder!"
