edition rz releases works circa 1972-1974 from american composer harley gaber.
performed by
linda cummiskey (violin)
steve reynolds (viola)
barbara riccardi (violin)
john dexter (violin).
both works on this cd form, in a manner of speaking, bookends for another piece of mine, the winds rise in the north. the first of the two, 'sovereign of the center,' was my initial attempt at putting a new musical way of thinking into an ensemble rather than solo form. the second, 'the realm of indra's net,' builds on musical 'discoveries' i made in the course of revising the winds rise in the north. it is a hybrid work in as much as it is an 'acoustic-tape piece' (not musique concrète). there are four tracks of solo violin mixed down in different track combinations (the one heard on this cd is a full-track mono version of the work). both of these pieces reflect a general shift in my musical thinking, which occurred in 1968 with 'chimyaku' (japanese for 'barely moving') scored for solo alto flute. it was with that work that i began to compose 'slowed-down' music, like slow-motion images in film, not merely slow music such as that of feldman.
