Percussionist William Winant writes: I've been into Feldman ever since I first heard Max Neuhaus's recording of "King of Denmark for solo percussion all the way back in high school some 35 years ago. He's been one of my favorite composers ever since then. His music is totally original and just plain BEAUTIFUL. I've made 3 or 4 recordings of his music over the years, and I will be doing his King of Denmark at the Contemporary Art Museum in Porto Portugal this March, in connection with the Robert Rauschenberg Exhibit, along with choreographer Trisha Brown, pianist John Tilbury, and vocalist Joan LaBarbara. As an improviser his music had a very heavy influence especially the way his sounds seem to float in space, like the early painting of Phillip Guston.
