portland’s musical minimilist, ethan rose, gets pitchfork love

Ethan Rose Portland Pitchfork

Ethan Rose has received a coveted 7.4 rating on Pitchfork for his new album. Here’s an excerpt - For three weeks I have attempted to finger the thematic underpinning of Ethan Rose’s Spinning Pieces. A collection of three pieces recorded between 2003 and 2007, each track sources a different mechanical device: music boxes on “Miniature & Sea”, player pianos on “…The Dot and the Line…”, and an automated carillon– a 100+ ton tower containing dozens of large bells– on “Singing Tower”. Each source is digitally kneaded into extended, wordless compositions.
