A major champion of minimalism in the 1970s as a writer, he remains one of its most important adherents as a composer, although the word 'minimalist' does not cover everything that his music does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnson is as radical as Eliane Radigue or Phill Niblock, but he is also interested in sounds that can be enjoyed in the moment, and in this sense, he is a true heir of Feldman, who was one of his teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCounting to Seven (2014) is a set of short pieces lasting about 80 minutes, of which eighteen pieces are presented here. Although obviously vocal because they are text-based, some of the pieces include percussion. They can be performed by almost any group of at least seven people and are not written for trained singers or actors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally the works on this disc were known as Counting Duets, but some years later, after a performance by Vincent Bouchot from the ensemble Dedalus, Johnson \"reworked everything for seven voices. I changed the title to Counting to Seven, added about 30 languages, well-known, little known, living and dead, and put together an 80-minute version, which we began performing in 2014.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New world","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50474810933579,"sku":"1125977","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/352bf3ac-204e-4502-b0b6-b361de0a490e_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727438581"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/dedalus.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
