OMG I'm literally blown away by Julius Eastman's music!!! I mean, I've studied it in my music theory class
and it's crazy how innovative and ahead of its time he was
. The way Davóne Tines performed "The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc" gave me chills, especially when his voice just echoed through the auditorium like that
. I wish there were more cellos in that piece though, it felt a bit bare at times. But overall, I think Eastman's music is proof that art should be all about taking risks and pushing boundaries
. The fact that he was part performance art, part sonic experimentation is so inspiring!
