Morton Feldman - For Bunita Marcus (1985) [performance from 1994]



Not as outwardly pretty as the other records on this list (and may elevate the anxiety of the quarantine, sorry!!), Morton Feldman’s “For Bunita Marcus” is an exposition on tempered sounds and idiosyncratic voices. The dissonance and atonality are at the forefront, but the anxiety doesn’t swell -- he never surprises you. Across this 70 minute performance, you get sucked into this hypnotic world of whispers and uncertainties and once you begin to find your way in this world, it all seems to make a little more sense… maybe.
