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.

miguel angel coria
en rouge et noire
cramps records

an excellent and breathy recording with lush piano elegies awash in a radical sonic realm that is profoundly reminiscent of charlemagne palestine but in a very hectic/spirited way, truly an excellent and underrated recording that explores new piano possibilities.

beautiful digipack edition + large booklet

originally recorded in 1976

gruppo di improvvisazione nuova consonanza
musica su schemi
cramps records

founded in italy between 1964 and 1965, the world's first composers collective, gruppo di improvvisazione nuova consonanza, sought to unhem the purposefulness of their respective instruments and the primacy of composition in order to open up a space for the emergence of free music and unintentional noise sounds.

the music sways between nearly inaudible whir, clatter and scrape and bubbling blasts of sound. their overtures to noise, anti-musical operations and compositional experiments on this disc, like their english brethren amm, completely anticipated a strategic break with the standards of virtuosity.

this work represents the earliest incarnation of gruppo and features ennio morricone, better known for his soundtrack work, franco evangelisti, egisto macchi, antonello neri, giovanni piazza and italian instabile orchestra member, giancarlo schiaffini.

contains previously unpublished photos and original notes by franco evangelisti.

long out of print, beautiful remastered digipack edition with extensive booklet

this uniquely original work for voice and electronics is dated 1972. the voice part is read with as few inflections and breaths as possible and the voice activates electronic sounds that respond with inflected sounds. the musical effect is that of an internal voice stimulating involuntary ideas and feelings offering a profound musical exploration of the relation between the physical nature of the voice and social/language behaviors

nova musicha n.3 recorded at center for contemporary music, mills college, oakland, california. though this work is a collaboration with paul demarinis, this original release did not give him equal credit, and this was not remedied until the album was reissued. includes printed booklet.
