Music for Yayoi Kusama

"Music for Yayoi Kusama", a free improvisation by Cheryl Pyle (flute), Max Ridgway (guitar), and Randall Colbourne (drums), recorded on January 19, 2021. 91-year-old avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was an influential figure in the postwar New York art scene, staging provocative happenings and exhibiting works such as her “Infinity Nets,” hallucinatory paintings of loops and dots (and physical representations of the idea of infinity). Narcissus Garden, an installation of hundreds of mirrored balls, earned Kusama notoriety at the 1966 Venice Biennale, where she attempted to sell the individual spheres to passersby. Kusama is considered an influence on Andy Warhol and a precursor to Pop art. Since her return to Japan in the 1970s, Kusama's work has continued to appeal to the imagination and the senses, including dizzying walk-in installations, public sculptures, and the "Dots Obsessions" paintings.

Very good! Also, I recognized Coulbourne´s playing from Music for Rothko!

Yes, I have a limited supply of his drum tracks. But you're probably the only person who has listened that carefully.
