Charlemagne Palestine Live @ Les Siestes Electroniques 2007

Charlemagne Palestine is probably the most legendary among the great masters of the American Minimal Music. Apart from the creations of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass, Charlemagne Palestine, after a first phase of intense research to define his musical language, preferred to dedicate his creativity in the visual arts field. This choice sadly cut him out of the musical world for years. Today, his music consists of long tracks per solo piano. Compositions are deeply strong and intense, the acoustic sound of the piano, thanks to a hypnotical technique, becomes the sound of an entire Orchestra full of harmonics.
