Who would have thought that six guys banging on Home Depot-styled lumber could sound so amazing? In Michael Gordon’s new appropriately titled piece Timber, six two-by-fours, cut to varying lengths make a surprisingly resonant sound, rich with a shifting field of overtones that in itself produces a kind of melody. It’s the craziest thing, and it’s magical and meditative.
Hear an excerpt from the piece in our latest round up of new classical music recommendations.
