series inactuelles mode 189 - 192 (3-cds, dvd plus 500 page book) percussion(s) a new concept of a musical textbook with 3 cds and a video dvd in a deluxe slipcase edition. inactuelles is a unique collaboration between mode and the parisian art-book store tschann, to combine cds and/or video dvds of musical performances with an informative musical textbook. this is a true franco-american collaboration, the slipcase and book printed in france with the cds and dvds printed and manufactured in america. inactuelles is a concept that is neither a cd nor a book, but rather a way to present a particular musical topic or composer in a thorough way. without being constrained to cd sized packaging, inactuelles is presented with a large and authoritative book, musically illustrated by the accompanying cds and/or dvds. "inactuelles" translates as "untimely": a collection of cds/dvd/book that represents the most original in recent new music without concessions to style. that which is truly original - a unique approach to composing musical sound - transcends fashion, technical and aesthetic concerns and becomes "timeless"... inactuelles. "roland auzet : percussion(s)" is the first volume of inactuelles: an incredible survey of music for solo percussion (with or without ensemble) in the 20th and 21st century - performed by the great french percussionist roland auzet. the music :: recordings of 13 works, including 7 world premieres - 3cds and a dvd of studio recordings by virtuoso french percussionist/composer roland auzet - a dvd of auzet's performance of xenakis' psappha and rebonds by filmmaker jacques goldstein. performers include vocalists nicholas isherwood, janet pape and armelle orieux, ensemble fa, ensemble musique aujord'hui, conductors jean-marie adrien, alain bancquart and domnique my. and the 500+ page book - a book (in english and french) by french musicologist pierre-albert castanet, percussion(s): gesture and spirit, which discusses the history of percussion music including interviews with auzet about interpretation and performance of percussion music, especially the works and the composers recorded in this set - preface by pierre boulez - postface by master american percussionist steven schick.
