Free Music Notes for Impermanence

Free Music Review: the transient limn
Hit: 5 Stars

Impermanence tickles the mind with its avant vocals and instruments - avant in their simple beauty, eloquent in peaceful (Maybe 2, Rocking, Mieke's Melody #5) and playful (Particular Dance), even silly (Skeleton Lines) aspects - they open the mind's channels of thought.

As Meredith Monk and the exemplary Vocal Ensemble are wont to do.

I can hear the vibrant 'presence' of the performers in the vocals. I hear the meditative storytelling unity of the ensemble, utilizing song/breath/sound/word/cadence/rhythm/reed/percussion/harmony/dissonance/polyrhythm. I hear it, and it moves with me across space/time, moving as if from death-and-separation to an embrace of the transient nature of life itself. I cannot decide of all her albums I own which is my favorite, though I think Mercy and Impermanence I have listened to most. Nominated for a Grammy in Best Small Ensemble Performance 2008, Impermanence has staying power. Thank you Meredith and thank you to every voice and musician who contributed to this album.

Impermanence Poster

Eagerly awaited new 65-minute work by Monk following mercy, released in 2002 Originally an evening-long interdisciplinary/multimedia composition (premiered in July 2004), Impermanence is a non-narrative musical meditation on the themes of death, loss and the fragility of human life, "done with Monk's inimitable brand of voluptuous sparseness" (San Francisco Chronicle) The pioneer of extended vocal techniques can be heard here in a suite of beautiful multi-part settings, both poignant and joyful, in which gentle melodies and Monk's celebrated vocal techniques are combined with a new range of instrumental sounds Monk is an artist whose music has inspired musicians such as Bjørk, DJ Spooky, Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush and many others and regularly attracts listeners from the worlds of pop, minimal music, avant-garde, modern jazz and beyond and her prominent role in the interdisciplinary art scene makes every new release a particular event among art-, dance-, cinema-, and music lovers of all kinds
