Four Sections of Music Unequally Divided

'Four Sections of Music Unequally Divided' is an exhibition of Seán Clancy’s hypnotic explorations into nonprescriptive compositional structures and musical material. The influences of visual artist Sol LeWitt in his reduction of forms to their bare essence and composer James Tenney in his sheer joy of the plasticity of sound are never far from this piece. The release comprises a single uninterrupted 44-minute span of music in which athletic piano playing meets analogue synthesizers and deconstructed gamelan. Seán Clancy was born in Dublin in 1984. His music deals with translation, examining minimal compositional strategies over extended periods of time, and devised collaboration.
