as a composer/violinist/improviser malcolm goldstein (b. 1936) has been active in the presentation of new music and dance since the early 1960s in new york city as a co-founder with james tenney and philip corner of the tone roads ensemble and as a participant in the judson dance theater, the new york festival of the avant-garde, and the experimental intermedia foundation. his soundings improvisations have received international acclaim for having reinvented violin playing, extending the range of tonal/sound-texture possibilities of the instrument and revealing new dimensions of expressivity. since the mid-1960s he has integrated structured improvisation aspects into his compositions, exploring the rich sound-textures of new performance techniques within a variety of instrumental and vocal frameworks.
goldstein has been labeled an improviser and a composer-violinist (or merely a violinist). what this cd once and for all shows is that he is indeed those things, but encompassing them all is the fact that, profoundly, he is a composer. as he points out, at the core of baroque music was the integration of composition and improvisation, and goldstein brings the perspective and focus of a seasoned performer to this undertaking. in this way his music represents a further evolution of that compositional-improvisational dialogue begun in the early 1950s in the aleatoric, chance pieces of composers like john cage, earle brown, christian wolff and morton feldman. |
