akemi ishijima has so far had only one other work released on cd, although she has had many international performances and broadcasts. she is currently completing her phd at the centre for electroacoustic music studies at city university.
michael ormiston is a virtuoso khöömii singer with 3 tours of mongolia under his belt. this piece uses only the morin khuur, a traditional mongolian stringed instrument, but whilst the music here utilises the harmonic techniques so sacred to the mongolians, it also extends beyond its traditional origins. this is his first release on cd.
tom wallace is an independent composer who organises the sonomorph events in london. the 2 events so far have focused mainly on new acousmatic works by young composers, as well as free improvisation.
hugh davies is one of the first names in the academic world of electronic music. additionally, his involvement in music making extends from working on groundbreaking pieces with stockhausen in the mid 60's to playing in music improvisation company in the 70's, and working with borbetomagus in the 80's.
john grieve is the one artist to carry over from the first volume of variations. his statements are pure and direct. this is another piece for tenor saxophone.
bob cobbing and lawrence upton recorded live at the klinker. at the age of 77, cobbing is undoubtably britains foremost sound poet. previous recordings are thin on the ground and nothing much has appeared in the last 2 decades. he does however, give many performances across london, often with birdyak, (a trio with hugh metcalfe and lol coxhill.) upton has occasionally colaborated with cobbing since 1969.
clive graham is better known for his involvement in the live electronics group morphogenesis and the running of paradigm discs. this is his first solo recording.
rolf gehlhaar became stockhausen's personal assistant between 1967 and 1970 whilst at the same time he became a member of the stockhausen ensemble, with whom he toured and recorded extensively. since this time he has concentrated on composition and the performance of his own works. this culminated in 1985 with the development of a real-time remote gestural control system. it consists of a set of ultrasonic sensors that pick up the movements of the performer/s, the sensors are linked to a computer, running real-time sound synthesis or sampler control. the many applications of this system are collectively known as sound=space. over the years he has continued to return to the infinate flexibility of this system. additionally this piece is uhj encoded for ambisonic playback. he has been living in london since 1975. |
