bind me, take me, amplifier, humidifier is about heartening backgrounds: the background radiations of existence, both aural and psychological, against which I live, subconsciously buoyed by their referential baseline, only noticing them when they're gone, a noticing which manifests as desperation, longing, and an awe at the dutiful devotion with which their work is carried out. This music is as much about the performers' familiarity with and trust in each other, and me, as it is about the specific sounds they make.

Oliver Thurley - whose veil remains inscrutable (excerpt). Nikel Anniversary Box Set - Summer 2017

The second movement of Morton Feldman's music for the film ‘Sculpture by Lipton’ , a documentary from 1954 about the work of the sculptor Seymour Lipton to which Feldman wrote the music. The original score has not survived, but the piece was transcribed from the soundtrack by Philip Thomas, who performs it on his 5-CD box set of Feldman's piano music, which will be released in September 2019.
