The musical works on this disc
fall into two categories: player-piano versions of works originally written
for some other medium, and works that have never been recorded before. The
latter fall into yet two more categories: abandoned works from early in
Nancarrow's career, and the final pieces from the last years of his life.
Following these works, There is a tape of excerpts from the 1977 interview
with the composer, conducted by Charles Amirkhanian.

Western Europe, the birthplace
of what we call "classical music," woke up to the fact that the
U.S. could make an impact in the field, not through George Gershwin or Aaron
Copland, but through the name of George Antheil—the first truly modern
U.S.-born composer to have any significant impact internationally. One hundred
years after his birth, Antheil's music and career are beginning again to
attract international attention. His provocative music was a reflection
of an adventure-filled life, and it rewards serious attention.

Other
Minds has gathered historical recordings from performances around the
world to create this richly sonorous compilation of heartfelt, affecting
performances. Conductor and Pound music scholar Robert Hughes conducts
The Other Minds Ensemble and others and was the guiding light in selecting
the repertoire and recordings. Reinbert de Leeuw leads a performance
with tenor Harry van der Kamp from the 1980 Holland Festival; other
recordings from England and Italy round out this brilliant collection.
An 80-page booklet with an essay by Pound music expert Margaret Fisher
and previously unpublished photographs make this deluxe package a must
for those interested in 20th century music, and in operatic and literary
history.

At
the time of its release in early 1975, unpitched
speech was not taken for granted as musical
material by composers, nor was there a widespread
movement of sound poetry in the U.S. This now-legendary
anthology, therefore, was a novelty and for
some an inspiring revelation. Long prized by
collectors (it has been out-of-print since
1984), this album of sound art made of spoken
words inspired a burst of related activity
during the decade of its circulation. A younger
generation of American composers and poets
began to adopt speech music, pre-dating rap,
poetry slams, or even the storied emergence
of performance artist Laurie Anderson. Featuring works by Charles Amirkhanian, Beth Anderson, Robert Ashley, John Cage, Clark Coolidge, Charles Dodge, John Giorno, Anthony Gnazzo, Brion Gysin, Liam O'Gallagher, and Aram Saroyan.

Other Minds Records proudly announces the release of “Residue”—talented vocalist-composer-songwriter Amy X Neuburg’s second solo album. A cross-over artist defying definition, Amy twists multiple musical styles together into something all her own—from cabaret and hard rock to classical. It’s not just her classically-trained vocal lyricism that’s appealing, it’s the astounding range of expression achieved when she adds live electronics and percussion, compositional prowess and clever lyrics to the mix. “More

hell of a lot cheerier than

If there is a musical counterpart to the writers of the lost Generation, it is surely George Antheil. The early musical career of this Trenton, New Jersey-born composer (1900-1959), captures the spirit of a whole generation of young American artists — deracinés who went abroad to complete their education, refine their tastes, live cheaply, and enjoy the far freer artistic and sexual milieu. For Antheil, this period (1922-1933) was marked by his friendship with famous literary and artistic figures — the left Bank expatriates Joyce, Hemingway, Pound, and William Carlos Williams, and the Right Bank intellectuals Cocteau, Satie, Breton, Aragon. Their fascination with this brilliant, irresistible, and tireless young American composer was primarily inspired by his peculiar music: a personal fusion of American jazz and Stravinsky's primitivism mixed with mechanical and percussive patterns...

It is only fitting that a string quartet founded by players based in San Francisco, California, might have a character all its own. This is particularly true of the adventurous Del Sol String Quartet, whose passionate advocacy for composers of the Western Hemisphere and of the countries of the Pacific Rim has generated a burgeoning fan base in recent years. | |||||||||||||||
