On You Tube: Rhys Chatham's "A Crimson Grail" for 200 Electric Guitars


On August 8, 2009 Rhys Chatham realized a New York City version of his piece, A Crimson Grail, in Damrosch Park outside the Lincoln Center. Here's clip 7 of 8 posted to You Tube by lonelycubicle. As he correctly suggests: "Note acts of religious fervor beginning at 7:29." Chatham performed at Soundlab with his minimalist death metal project Essentialist on 09/15/06. On 02/01/07, he assembled a group of Buffalo musicians to realize his seminal no wave-minimalist piece Guitar Trio.
