ANTS RECORDS

A music concerned for, as the author writes in the disc

notes, “… the importance of silence in music…”. This work is

conceived not “for organ” but, really, for “organ and

silence”, as the silence is a fundamental part of it, and it’s

not possible to give it up. It’s an attempt, as the author

explain “ to permit as much silence as possible, without

allowing the music to actually stop”.

Tom Johnson is one of the masters of minimalism, but he

combines this with rigorous logic. His work, free from false

glitters, defines, better that any other one, the sense of a

research the goes beyond the strict genre definitions, and

become poetic application of original ideas.

Recorded in Nerinx, in Kentucky, spring 2001.
