Tanner Menard (behind the laptops)
This is the first in a series of 2010 favorites. This year, I actually kept a list all year long so I wouldn’t forget the great things that happened early on. Tanner Menard‘s You Had Not Changed But Your Cameras Were No Longer Identical was never in danger of being forgotten. I’ve returned to it over and over as the year passed by and it never managed to stay far from my mind.
He describes the 24 minute piece as an “attempt to forge a virtuoso exploration of raw symphonic emotion and uncompromisingly poetic romanticism.” There’s nothing overly saccharine about this piece, it’s deeply patient, but there’s a background radiation of longing somewhere deep below the patient surface that keeps drawing me back to it in fits and cravings.
