They span and slightly overlap the 20th Century, with \u003cstrong\u003eSatie\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Gnossiennes and Danses de Travers dating from the tail end of the 19th century (when the piano used on this recording was built), \u003cstrong\u003ePärt\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Für Anna Maria written in 2006, and the works of \u003cstrong\u003eCage\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMonk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTailleferre\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMompou\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSkempton\u003c\/strong\u003e falling in between.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e Eight composers, all associated with minimalism to a greater or lesser degree, born in the United States, France, England, Spain, and Estonia. Eight approaches to resonance, pattern, repetition, layering, phrasing, form, color, touch, texture, and volume on the piano. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe ways their music dovetails remind me of a murmuration, a cloud of iridescent starlings swirling and shape-shifting through the sky at dusk, seemingly at random but in fact governed by each bird’s observation of the seven other birds nearest it. So: a small murmuration of seven, plus one extra for luck, inspired by the enthusiasm of friends, students, and other musicians, and by my own reactions to the mesmerising qualities of this music in all its diversity, and the way it pulls me in time and again. This selection only scratches the surface of the works that fall under the capacious umbrella of minimalism, but it’s a start.\"\r\n\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarcia Hadjimarkos, Pianist\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\nFeatured in blog post \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/dsd-reviews\/notes-on-recent-finds-no-9-endless-bounty-from-nativedsd\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes on Recent Finds, No. 9 – Endless Bounty from NativeDSD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e by music reviewer Rushton Paul.","brand":"Outer Marker Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010524996,"sku":"OM02100H-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010557764,"sku":"OM02100H-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010590532,"sku":"OM02100H-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010623300,"sku":"OM02100H-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010656068,"sku":"OM02100H-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010688836,"sku":"OM02100H-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740010721604,"sku":"OM02100H-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339289108804,"sku":"OM02100H-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/OM02100H.jpg?v=1778491412","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/om02100h-murmurations-one-microphone-recording-pure-dsd","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
