“From the Table of the Elements' 10th anniversary 'Lanthanides' series of single-sided, silkscreened LPs. "Three Aspects..." is a piece from 2003 and is written for 6 male voices. "It was Rhys Chatham who first applied multiple electric guitars to the extended-duration, overtone-drenched minimalism of the 1960s. This amalgamation--of the intellectual experimentalism and textural sophistication of the avant-garde with the rhythmic brashness and visceral punch of punk rock --produced a raucous, ecstatic new type of urban music that energized the downtown New York scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, a music whose influence can be heard in the subsequent work of the many luminaries who participated in Chatham's ensembles, including Glenn Branca and members of Sonic Youth, Mars, Band of Susans and Swans. Three Aspects of the Name is both a departure and return for Chatham. In the composer's words: 'In Three Aspects of the Name I return to my roots as a hard-core minimalist. The musical vocabulary is essentially that of my earlier composition, Guitar Trio (1977), where most of the harmonic and melodic content occurs in the overtones generated by the fundamental pitches being played, primarily one-note. The current piece marks my first use of this particular technique for voice. The three words of text comes from a traditional Hebrew inspirational chant that I chose to work with, for, among other reasons, its highly selective and potent use of vowel sounds, which lend themselves to the unfolding creative story that the overtones tell over the course of the composition.'"
