First published in 2018. “I once travelled from Copenhagen to a London jazz club to see Lucy Railton and Benoît Delbecq performing a long piece of Morton Feldman that was unknown to me. As the music ‘unfeld’ (began to unfold) I realised there was no way I could stay awake. Telling myself that this was OK as long as I woke up before the end, I slept deeply, somehow fully conscious of every timeless floating sound, and at a certain point the composition gently informed me that I should prepare to awake.

“Reflecting on this later, I thought, ‘How masterly to write music that is so abstract, and yet so immaculately structured that its form somehow already exists within you; what a wonderful inventor Feldman was’.”
