My music is inside the silence, said the composer Morton Feldman. Discover his work on January 30 at Paliesius Manor, through both sound and image.

Morton Feldman’s Patterns in a Chromatic Field (1981), composed for cello and piano, is one of the artist’s most significant late works. The approximately 90-minute composition is woven from subtle, slowly shifting sound patterns, whose repetitions are never identical. Feldman’s creative principle, known as “crippled symmetry” – logic of imperfect symmetry, inspired by the structures of Eastern carpets – becomes a metaphor for the passage of time, attention, and human inconsistency.

In this audiovisual work, Feldman’s creative principles are followed not as a replication of sound or image, but as a way of thinking based on slowness, microvariations, and repetition without a climax. This logic is transposed into today’s context: the chromatic field of screens, notifications, and algorithms, where our attention is constantly fragmented.
