john cage
a tribute
ag06 double cd

joshua pierce, piano & prepared piano
robert white, tenor
afmm ensemble

from the liner notes of eric salzman :

john cage wrote for keyboards throughout most of his life. most famously, he invented the so-called "prepared piano" but he also wrote for unprepared piano in both traditional and untraditional ways. his later piano works employ an almost ferocious complication and virtuosity at the outer limits of performer possibility. earlier he used electronic extensions, chance and performer collaboration in complex ways. his early keyboard music was written for himself to play, much of it meant to "accompany" modern dance performances. cage's piano, prepared and unprepared, was the orchestra for a whole genre of solo dance performance by some of the greatest figures of modern american dance.

this recording of four walls grew out of live performances by joshua pierce and dancer/choreographer sin cha hong at the seoul nymax festival and anthology film archive's courthouse theater in new york city on october 27 and 28, 1994, marking the work's fiftieth anniversary. plans to extend this album as a double cd came about as a result of mr. pierce's brilliant and relevatory performance of the composer's magnum opus: sonatas and interludes recorded "live" at the microthon festival held at new york university on may 23, 1999, marking his twenty-fifth anniversary of live performances and his association with the music of john cage, and in particular, sonatas and interludes.

a very special feature of this summation of pierce's work with the piano music of john cage, is the presence of two compositions here recorded for the very first time: the prelude (piano sextet) for six instruments in a minor, from 1946 and the three early songs, from 1933.

the 56-pages three languages booklet (english, italian and french) including photographs, liner notes by eric salzman, essay by michele porzio and extensive biographical notes of the performers, completes this double cd edition packaged in multipack jewel box.

this release represent a great occasion to approach, at the highest level, the early piano masterpieces of the 20th century most important and influential composer, uniquely performed by one of he’s most dedicated and well known interpreters.

joshua pierce

one of a handful of brilliant and creative musicians of his generation, joshua pierce's passion and sensitivity has earned him a world-wide reputation as a prolific pianist who has forged his own individual and unique style with a vast repertoire of music spanning all eras of piano literature. his technical mastery has afforded him the ability to move easily from the concerti of haydn, mozart and beethoven, to the big works of brahms, liszt, tchaikovsky, rachmaninov, to the provoking sounds of john cage, charles ives, ivan wyschnegradsky, harry partch, teo macero, karlheinz stockhausen, la monte young, toru takemitsu, swen sandstrom, maurice ohana, ben weber, sofia guibadulina and many others.

john cage
cheap imitation
cramps records

reissue of an lp originally on the cramps nova musicha imprint. the music is a "cheap imitation" of erik satie. nice meandering piano music played by cage himself.

registrazione effettuata presso il center for contemporary music al mills college di oakland in california. non è difficile scorgere il filo che lega cage al grande satie. un filo “critico” che ancora oggi a tenderlo solleva polemiche ed ira inconsuete. john cage, nel 1969, ha composto uno spartito a partire dal “socrate” di satie e da lui definito cheap imitation. questo spartito era una "imitazione" dell'originale, sottoposta a una serie di derivazioni aleatorie, ottenute da un'estrazione casuale di diversi esagrammi del libro dell'i-ching, pratica già utilizzata da cage in altre occasioni.

nova musicha n.17 recorded on a rainy day, march 7 1976, at center for contemporary music, mills college, oakland, california. digital remastering: rds milano. production: cooperativa nuova intrapresa. edition: cramps music/milano. originally released on lp in 1977. includes 32-page booklet with liner notes in italian, french and english.

dszc1 manuel zurria repeat!

genre: minimalism, electro-acoustic
format: 3xcd digipack
description: triple cd – multi-fold deluxe digipak + 16-pages booklet

the restless experimentation and creativity of manuel zurria (of alter ego fame) has resulted in a brilliant series of collaborative works with legendary composers such as luc ferrari, alvin lucier, arvo part, john cage, morton feldman, lászló sáry, louis andriessen, aldo clementi, zoltan jeney, stefano scodanibbio, salvatore sciarrino, jonathan harvey and kevin volans. a truly stunning mixture of electronic and longform electro-acoustic pieces, repetitive ethnic rhythms, drones and delay, field recordings, flute and the human voice.

repeat is the diary of an obsession that has been accompanying me for four long years. alighiero boetti, one of the fathers of italian conceptual art, had fit out along a wall of his house in rome his most introspective work: the wall. on this wall he showed, continuously modifying their choice and position, objects and works belonging to his own production or to the one of other artists friends, together with objects he found by chance on the street, family pictures and drawings of his children. in other words, his own world. during the realisation of this project i have been reading “difference and repetition” by gilles deleuze, which gave me the occasion to ponder on the involvements that bring back to the principle of repetition in music of our time. in a certain sense, deleuze’s writing allowed me to focus on the importance of repetition as a perceptive fact, and as an experience of listening in accumulation. in the same time, i thought of repetition as difference, as a minimal fact, as trance. this element has been determinant in my activity and allowed me to collaborate during the years with musicians who look at repetition as an exciting experience, both physical and mystic.

yes, you’re reading this correctly. this is the vinyl version of “obscure tape music of japan vol.5” - apparently there was also a vinyl version of the first volume, which is now, sadly, o/p ...

the layout is minimal (in fact it is a plain white sleeve with the print-work from the cd edition pasted-on), but the pressing of the lp is superb (as with most/all japanese pressings) - definitely a nice thing...

obscure tape music of japan vol.5
toshi ichiyanagi "music for tinguely"

ichiyanagi is best known composer for domestic and foreign avant-garde music fans. especially in his brilliant 60's, he made many great tape music. but most of them has not published on discs or issued for very small edition. this cd consists of his obscure three tape works. "music for tinguely" was made from junk objects of kinetic sculptor jean tinguely. "appearance" is live electronic music. it's not only premire performance but also john cage and david tudor participated in performance. very noisy and hard core!! "music for living space" was composed for inner space of 'sun tower' of world expo in osaka. computer generated voice reads architect kisyo kurokawa's manifest. strange!!
...

about the works toshi ichiyanagi

music for tinguely

i believe it was 1963 when well known kinetic sculptor jean tinguely first visited japan to give one man show by his original works at minami gallery where was the center of new art in tokyo at that time. i was looking forward to this exhibition because i knew his work of self-destroyed piano performance¹ took place at moma's garden in new york in 1960.

after arriving in tokyo, tinguely was searching to collect scraps everyday. in those days we could still find broken fragments of machines here and there in tokyo. his exhibition consisted all by new works. with all of his works motors were installed and though they were made of scraps some gave poetic images whereas others were noise making machineries with violent actions. scrap machineries were reborn as thythmic sculptures and enchanted gallery visitors.

after seeing the show, i noticed that he was carefully treating the sculpture movement from the sound point of view also. i was fascinated and not able to stop my interest to make music out of those sculpture sounds. i asked for permission to both tinguely and minami gallery to use sounds. tinguely was miable person. he accepted my proposal and became interested in my composition. and one of the composition made of tinguely's kinetic sculpture sound is this "music for tinguely". the piece was composed at the studio of sogetsu art center where at this time was most cooperative place to new music.

appearance

in 1967, i was staying in new york for about 10 months with my wife and 2 years old son as a composer in residence under the invitation of jdr 3rd fund. my position was quite free so i was enjoying stimulating new york life by meeting friends of various fields, participating concerts of john cage and david tudor and the members of sonic arts union and so on.

one day i had a visitor in my apartment who was the composer and the professor of university of california in davis mr. larry austin. he told me that he recently established a music publisher "composers' edition" and he wishes to commision me a new work. i felt strong enthusiasm to new music on his talk, i willingly accepted his offer.
"appearance" was composed under such background while i was in new york and published on first issue of composers' edition.

the piece is live electronic music and written by graphic notation for electronic equipments and some instruments ². in this cd, john cage performs in the roll of manipulating electronics and david tudor bandneon and some young violinist and trumpet players participated.

music for living space

the tower named "sun tower" was constructed at the festival plaza when world expo was held in osaka in 1970. the tower had 3 layers inside. representing past was located undeground floor, present on ground level and the future up in the air.

i was asked by producer noboru kawazoe and composer toshiro mayuzumi to compose the music of the future section. it came to my mind ro use the theory talk of architect kisyo kurokawa as a part of music with whom i was working together at the other pavillion and had intimate relation. i thought unique theory of kurokawa could become music inside the future section of sun tower environment. so in stead of his natural voice, i decided to compose artificially made computer voice. at the time of 1970, to make computer speak japanese required advanced technic thus it took me many hours before the piece completed.

¹: "hommage to new york"
²: instruction of 3 instruments, 2 oscillators and ring modulators

david tudor: music for piano

2-cd set with recordings by the legendary 20th century avantgarde pianist. with compositions by sylvano bussotti, john cage, morton feldman, christian wolff.

david tudor, pianist - a profession, a vocation, a life. from 1950 until around 1965, david tudor was the epitome of the pianist who could simply play anything. in fact, david tudor was no longer a name, but an indication for instrumentation as dozens of pieces were written "for david tudor".

as early as 1960, after having conquered all of the challenges posed by serial piano music, tudor began to differentiate between composers who filled him with life and those who left him cold - the focus of his repertory became crystallized. the main criterion for his choices were shaped by the part he would play as interpreter in the composition. he distinguished carefully between having a free choice among prefabricated parts - generally called aleatoric, as for example, stockhausen's klavierstück xi (dedicated, as his klavierstücke v-viii, to tudor) - and indeterminate actions. in the first case, they have a tendency to "put me to sleep", whereby pieces that are less limiting led him to say, "i feel that i'm alive in every part of my consciousness".

the program of these cds portrays these distinctions.

new world press release...

this double-cd set combines two of the key titles of columbia records’s legendary “music of our time” series curated by david behrman. jeanne kirstein’s recording of cage’s early keyboard works remains a touchstone of cagean interpretation notwithstanding the passage of time. christian wolff recalls, "i remember cage saying that jeanne kirstein’s playing caught the spirit in which the pieces were written at the time he wrote them—a kind of simple excitement and enthusiasm (also, surely, out of the discovery of the preparing of the piano and the great new sounds)."

the seminal 1959 columbia lp that introduced feldman’s work to the listening public features historic performances that still resonate with passion and conviction more than four decades later. the works maybe divided into three categories: the earlier, precisely notated music (extensions 1 for violin and piano, extensions 4 for three pianos, two pieces for two pianos, structures for string quartet, three pieces for string quartet); the first graphic notation pieces (intersection 3 for piano, projection 4 for violin and piano); and the first free durational composition (piece for four pianos).

to quote a prescient critic of the time, "[all eight works are] are full of spots, sparks and spangles of radiant color; a single note becomes an event of epical portent; the final result is to compact hours into seconds with an almost overwhelming intensity and depth of feeling."

david tudor / john cage “rainforest ii & mureau” double compact disc set

rainforest ii / mureau (43:02)
rainforest ii / mureau (continued) (51:17)

premiere of this recording of the simultaneous performance of david tudor’s rainforest ii and john cage’s mureau by the composers themselves.

new world press release...

this historic release of a simultaneous performance by david tudor and john cage of rainforest ii and mureau, recorded live by radio bremen on may 5, 1972, preserves the only surviving performance of the second of tudor’s "rainforest" series. in addition, it documents one of the precious few recorded collaborations between these two visionaries. in 1970 cage composed the piece called mureau, in which phrases from thoreau’s journals (in particular, passages which touch on the subject of music) are used as the springboard for an elaborate collage. the resultant fabric combines elements of sense and nonsense, as it veers between contextual meaning and a sort of abstract, linguistic vocalise. in cage’s public readings of mureau, he explored a number of performance variables—differences in tempo, vocal timbre, pitch, register, and dynamics. a similar range will be apparent, in fact, when listening to this recorded performance. this simultaneous performance of mureau and rainforest ii took place in a large concert hall before an audience, rather than privately in a recording studio. whereas in other performance realizations (such as their legendary indeterminacy collaboration) the two men had been placed in separate isolation booths, here the two shared the same performance space, so that each could hear and see the other person’s activity. in fact, cage and tudor sat quite close to one another at the center of the stage, cage performing mureau as a four-channel realization—one live channel against three pre-recorded tracks, all of them his own voice—and tudor actively engaged in real-time processing of cage’s vocal material, using it to generate electronic loudspeaker-filter events.

essential listening for anyone interested in the work of either composer.

sonic youth the syr series

having completed construction on their manhattan studios in 1996, sonic youth suddenly found themselves in a position to create unadulterated by the tyranny of time and space. as a result of their natural writing process, whereby collective improvisation congeals over time into song structures, they began to amass a small mountain of tape, most of it containing raw, wild, spontaneous music they reckoned wouldn't be "commercial" enough for geffen to release.

yet the material seemed just as essential and true to their mission, and showed an important side of the band and their process that was usually inacessible to their fans. so instead of a problem, sy saw an opportunity — they decided to release these secret sonic glimpses themselves. sonic youth recordings was born.

arbeiten - ein stück für alle (15:56) 1973
cudrefin (minuit) - found music no.1 (18:27) 1973
don’t you may be, the essential interview (5:02) 1975

youdonthavetocallitmusic press release...

nikolaus einhorn
- arbeiten
lp, youdo 02, ltd.num.500

featuring two sound poetry recordings from 1973, "arbeiten - ein stück für alle" (already released as tape on the s press label back in 1973) and "cudrefin (minuit) - found music no.1" (previously unreleased).

the first 250 copies include an onesided bonus 7inch with his track "don't you may be, the essential interview" from the famous "futura - poesia sonora" boxset (cramps records).

...

"nikolaus einhorn - geboren 1940 in dresden, studierte germanistik und anglistik in münchen; er ist lehrer an einem gymnasium in düsseldorf, gibt zusammen mit angela köhler und michael köhler die s press tonbandreihe heraus und baut ein archiv für internationale akustische poesie auf; veröffentlichte in zeitungen und zeitschriften aufsätze über experimentelle poesie und die avantgarde des 20. jahrhunderts; gab in der reihe "text und kritik" ein heft über die literarischen arbeiten von kurt schwitters heraus; machte und macht rundfunksendungen über autoren akustischer literatur."

(s press 1973)

...

"nikolaus einhorn (geb. 1940), mitherausgeber des s press tonbandverlags, erprobt zeitstrukturierungen mit materialien verschiedenen charakters. "arbeiten" ist ein akustisches modell, in dem einhorn den implikationen der reprise nachgeht. drei tonbandschleifen, die das wort "arbeiten" enthalten, gesprochen von drei stimmen, bilden das ausgangsmaterial.

es entsteht eine sprech- bzw. hörsituation, in der sich der sprechvorgang als arbeitsvorgang verstehen läßt und die drei tonspuren - obgleich das material, aus dem sie bestehen, identisch bleibt – in wechselnde kommentarbeziehungen zueinander treten." (s press tonbandzeitung 1981)...

"nikolaus einhorn is a young german writer who has already produced a good number of sound poems. he is trying to realize a non-abstract oral poetry free from all written notation, a construction which comes directly from the mind and memory. "don’t you may be, the essential interview", composed in 1975 represents a hypothetical interview with the u.s. musician john cage, the representative of non-music, that is, of that school which, by rejecting the forms and structures of composition, has brought about a crisis in traditional and contemporary musical composition, and which, using different techniques principally of the aleatory type, affirms the validity of musical silence, also on ontological grounds. in our opinion this "essential interview" establishes a series of tautological circularities, underlined by the repetition of cage's "smile / little laugh".

nikolaus einhorn was born at dresden in 1940. he studied german and english in munich and earns his living as a teacher at the dusseldorf high-school. in 1970 he co-founded the “s press tape series", a label that was dedicated to acoustical literature (sound poetry), which today is one of the most important means of diffusion of experimental poetry. he has published numerous essays on the avant-garde of the twentieth century and a volume of essays on the literary work of kurt schwitters, published by the magazine "text + kritik". he has also produced radio programs on such authors as otto nebel, raoul hausmann, henri chopin, and on the poetry of the north american indians."

cage, feldman, hidalgo, la rosa, marchetti: “rumori alla rotonda” milan, january 21, 1959.

among all of the events john cage porticipoted in during his long stay in europe, and more precisely in italy, that followed his controversial appearance at darmstadt ferienkurse on september 1958, the concert he held in milan on january 21, 1959, at the rotonda del pellegriniwith juan hidalgo, walter marchetti, and the peruvian composer leopoldo la rosa - perhops represents a less well-known episode, but not the least relevant one. the reasons of such an interest - reasons that justify the opportunity to present here, after forty years, the complete recording of the concert, and that restore the measure of the exceptionality of this rare document - cam be summarized, first of all, in the contrasting reactions catalyzed by this event, thus prefiguring the front of ill-matched attitudes in which the contradictory european reception of john cage's oeuvre began to crystallize.

featuring cage's intervention both as composer and performer of his awn work as well as of two piano pieces by morton feldman, the concert at pellegrini's rotonda moy be considered the first event of experimental music in europe in which the presentation of american and european composers - if one excepts the non-homogeneaus chorocter of david tudor recitals - consciously acted on an ogreeing and equal aesthetic horizon. it was exactly this peculiarity that tumed out to be differently meaningful for peaple who played 0n. active role in the concert on the one hand, and for those who recognized in it, from an extemal point of view, only the symptoms of a pemicious mixture as regards the kind of cultural phenomenology with which cage's experience was classified at the time of his first clamorous ochievements in europe. the concert, promoted by the 'club intemazionale universitario', was organized thanks to the initiative of juan hidalgo, walter marchetti, and leopoldo la rosa, to crown cage's impending deporture from milan, where he spent almost four months starting from november 1958 - accepting luciana berio's and bruno madema's invitation-to finish the tape of fontana mix at rai television 'studio di fonologia musicale'.

during this period cage was not lacking in other opportunities to perform his compositions, neither did he miss former occasions for presenting his music in italy with a certain continuity, perhaps mare frequently at that time than in other eurapean countries. after the first private performance, reserved to musicians and iriends, of fontana mix simultaneously played with aria written lor cathy berberian (milan, december 20, 195b), cage began a brief tour in italy with luciano berio and the same singer, with a concert programme repeated in rome (ridotta del t eatro elisea, january 5, 1959) and florence (circola leonarda do vinci, january 8, 1959), where they presented music for two pianos, winter music, and variations i, and the first public performance of aria with fontana mix. sytvana bussotti and heinz-klaus metzger, in conjunction with teresa rampazzi, afterwards organized a concert by cage at the circolo culturale 'ii pozzetto' in padua (february 7, 1959), where he performed variations i, music walk, excerpts from music for piano, besides an audition 01 the european premiere of the concert for piano and orchestra recorded in cologne, and metzger's opening lecture entitled the musical progress from schonberg to cage...

december 2010 release ; just incredible ...

inside this mammoth, 10-disc behemoth lies a veritable king’s ransom of largely otherwise un-issued pieces, all composed for merce cunningham’s dance company, performed by a who’s who of 20th century experimental & electronic music ...

... before you balk at the price, let me point out just some of the contents ::

an absolute treasure-trove of archival david tudor material(s), ranging from his premiere of christian wolff’s “for piano i” in 1952 & his performance of piano pieces by earle brown, bo nilsson, & morton feldman ... through his “jerry-rigged” electronic work with john cage, gordon mumma, malcolm goldstein, max neuhaus, toshi ichiyanagi, pauline oliveros ... and finally his 80’s & 90’s solo live electronic pieces ...

an otherwise never-released recording of takehisa kosugi playing a “catch-wave” lineage piece in 1976, plus three other unreleased live-electronic pieces from the 80’s & 90’s, all of which are insane (listen to the sound-sample for one of the 80’s one ; an “automated” bleep-out par excellence) ...

unheard 70’s & 80’s compositions by maryanne amacher, jon gibson, yasunao tone, john king, michael pugliese, and annea lockwood ... along with several ensemble pieces from the 90’s with jim o’rourke & folks like stuart dempster, kosugi, paul de marinis, and company ... and a disc of “events” featuring folks like christian marclay, ikue mori, george lewis, steve lacy ... and oddly, led zeppelin’s john paul jones & radiohead drummer phil selway ...

... comes as a nice, matte cd-box (similar form-factor as the “music from the once festival” set) with a pull-ribbon, all ten discs (housed in five single-wide double-cases) & a 120-page book offering a succinct history of the cunningham company’s involvement with all of this essential stuff, plus tons of key photos of the happenings & dance-events documented herein ...

easily my single favorite release of 2010 ; highest conceivable recommendation !!!

new world press release...

composer(s): christian wolff, john cage, earle brown, bo nilsson, morton feldman, gordon mumma, toshi ichiyanagi, david behrman, pauline oliveros, david tudor, takehisa kosugi, maryanne amacher, jon gibson, yasunao tone, john king, michael pugliese, stuart dempster, annea lockwood
album title: music for merce (1952-2009)
cat. no.: 80712 (10 cds)
genre: classical / contemporary
release date: 12/2010

the late merce cunningham was renowned for his legendary collaborations with the most significant experimental musicians of the late 20th century. particularly notable is his association with john cage, who served as the founding musical director of the merce cunningham dance company until cage’s death in 1992.

spanning six decades from the early 1950s onward, these recordings capture the breadth of the cunningham repertory and the rich diversity of cunningham’s musical collaborations. composers whose work features prominently in this collection include seminal figures of late-20th-century experimental music such as john cage, david tudor, gordon mumma, christian wolff, and takehisa kosugi, among others.

for the most part, these compositions have not been recorded elsewhere and are making their first appearance on cd. this is a document of enormous historical import that will be a revelation to both listeners and scholars interested in the evolution of american experimental music over the past five decades. also included is a 124-page booklet featuring a 15,000-word essay by amy beal, one of the foremost scholars of contemporary american music.

june 2009 release ; vinyl version, in a deluxe triple-gatefold, which reprints the epic liner notes of the cd edition in full ... needless to say, but it’s pretty great to have such canonic pieces as the russolo’s “chorale”, ruttman’s “wochende”, pousseur’s “scambi”, mumma’s “dresden interleaf”, boehmer’s “aspekt” (listen to the sound-sample for the opening blast ; just bonkers) on “god’s format” ...

normally i’m not one for conceptualized compilations bridging the old with the new (especially ones involving dj spooky), although i have to make something of an exception here as this was curated with a degree of loving care that discounts my own petty concepts of right & wrong...

no excerpts, just a few hours of seminal early electronic transmissions coupled with a few contemporary-era odes to those magmatic magnetic aktions. a really nice overview: futurism to ‘cinema pour l’oreille’ to musique concrète to live electronics ... all over the first 5 tracks alone.

some of this material is available elsewhere but ... so what. it flows nicely, providing a listening experience akin to a finely executed dj mix. one of the better avenues to get your kid brother hooked on experimental electronic music’s many flowering pastures ...

an anthology of noise & electronic music #1
first a-chronology 1921-2001

srv190
3xlp

the first volume of seven published from 2001 to 2011, curated, noted and edited by guy marc hinant.

an unpublished history

this is the great beginning of a vast anthology of "noise and electronic music" that we plan for the following years in 7 double volumes. this volume begins in the 1920s, with the russolo brothers, and looks at each decade in turn - varèse, cage, schaeffer, xenakis, the great pioneers - the first traces of a music that was necessarily revolutionary: electronic music, created from nothing (and hence to be entirely invented). some pieces on these cds are certainly classics, but there are others, which, though old, were distributed informally or never even released. our more contemporary pieces are, wherever possible, previously unreleased. in fact, more than the half of what we listen here is unreleased and unpublished.

the gathering of eclectic noise makers

whereas composers like stockhausen, berio or pousseur had come from serialism and began making electronic music as a continuation of their work with traditional instruments, others such as boehmer or oliveros composed right away on electronic bases; there were those who invented new methods, like schaeffer and concrete music, others were outsiders, revolutionaries or visionaries like xenakis or cage, without forgetting the branch of sound derived from dada, the complex forms of free jazz, john coltrane, the acoustic and electronic improvisation scene, rock of the alternative, psychedelic and industrial varieties, the german wave of the 1970s, the last generation of electronic musicians from the beginning or middle of the 1990s, dj, reinventors of drones, painters or sculptors using sound, and process or software creators. the noise goes on ...
