Composers, artists and writers from Alvin Lucier and Charles Curtis to
Claudia La Rocco and James Fei discuss the lineages and politics of
Minimalist music
Focusing on "phase shifting" in music (i.e. where two or more versions
of a sound or motif are played simultaneously but slightly out of sync),
particularly as it relates to artists whose practices run from the 1960s
into the present, Marfa Sounding gathers writers, composers, sound
theorists, art critics, dance historians, filmmakers, students, curators
and archivists thinking through the intersection of music, Minimalism
and the political.
Artists include: Alvin Lucier and Éliane Radigue with Charles
Curtis; Anna Halprin with Phillip Greenlief, Rashaun Mitchell, Silas
Riener, Nina Martin, and Stephen Petronio; Tarek Atoui with Amma Ateria,

Authors include: James Fei, Jennifer Burris, Erik DeLuca, Ida
Soulard, Maria Chávez, Janice Ross, Wendy Vogel and Claudia La Rocco.
