Make some googling: Workers Union was written in 1975 at a time when Andriessen was engaged in 1970s counterculture and Marxist politics. While this piece belonged to the aesthetic ideals of minimalism, it was different in several important and innovative ways. First of all, it required every player to play the same rhythm throughout but only provided a general contour for note choice. Secondly, the piece was written for any combination of loud sounding instruments which was in keeping with the composer’s desire to avoid standard instrumental combinations. Finally, this work had a specific political subtext that was rarely expressed by other early minimalist composers. Andriessen states that “This piece is a combination of individual freedom and severe discipline: its rhythm is exactly fixed; the pitch, on the other hand, is indicated only approximately, on a single-lined stave. It is difficult to play in an ensemble and to remain in step, sort of like organizing and carrying on political action.”The video we created to accompany Workers Union speaks to the complex issues facing workers during the pandemic by showing our own multi-use work spaces.
