Experimental musician John Tilbury released a four-CD collection titled ‘At Home’ on July 31 [1].
The release serves as a definitive coda to the artist's public career. By documenting these recordings, Tilbury provides a final archival collection as he concludes his history of live appearances [1].
The album was recorded at Tilbury's residence in Deal, located on the Kent coast [1]. These recordings are described as intimate and revelatory, capturing the artist in a private setting rather than a concert hall [1].
Tilbury has long been recognized for his contributions to the avant-garde scene. Simon Reynell of The Guardian said he is "the great interpreter of Morton Feldman and a towering figure of experimental music" [1].
The four-disc set acts as a treasure trove of the musician's late-career explorations [1]. The project emphasizes the transition from the public stage to the domestic sphere, a shift that mirrors the intimate nature of the audio captured in Deal [1].
Tilbury said the collection "signs off with four discs of intimate, revelatory recordings" [1].
“The great interpreter of Morton Feldman and a towering figure of experimental music”
The conclusion of John Tilbury's live performances marks the end of an era for the experimental music community. As a primary interpreter of Morton Feldman, Tilbury's transition from public performance to home-based recording reflects a broader movement in avant-garde music toward intimacy and archival preservation over traditional commercial spectacle.
