Headphone musics 1 to 6. As I As
In 1967 Z'EV took a tape music class at the UCLA night school. The leader of the course was Joseph Byrd who was the founder and theoretician of the first electronic rock band: the united states of america. So while it's almost 40 years now that he has been involved in the production of electro-acoustic music, Headphone Musics marks the first release of a product exclusively featuring this form of music. All of the source material is drawn from the collection of cassette tapes Z'EV has amassed ov…

Antecedente X
Franco Donatoni intraprende una sua strenua, singolarissima indagine del comporre musicale, inoltrandosi nella parte intima, più segreta e muta dell'attività compositiva. Prima edizione, 1980.Non c'è niente da fare, il libro va letto e riletto. Nonostante- logico- le critiche sull'approccio donatoniano alla composizione come "abbandono nichilistico DEL materiale (così specifica l'Autore) e non AL materiale. Nella rottura dell'equilibrio percettivo (realtà malata) sta tutta la musica post-avangua…
The animation of lists and the Archytan transpositions
There are any number of ways to hear Warren Burt's music for tuning forks; as many ways as there are listeners, probably. The most immediate one is simply to revel in its beauty and enjoy the music as sound. Or, to be more accurate, as clouds of sound; sonic colors that momentarily hover here and there, as they move slowly across the musical horizon. Of course, Warren Burt's music may also be heard as the mature work of a major experimental composer, one secure in his craft, and still filled wi…
WOODEN GUITAR
A simple title with a simple concept. Wooden Guitar is an inspired excursion into the creases and folds of modern deltadelica & a thinly veiled homage to the great Takoma compilations of yore (remember that great Kottke, Lang, Fahey collection?) where guitarists could sit back, work those muscles in their fingers and go the extra musical distance. Four of the great worldwide guitarists -- Germany's Steffen Basho-Junghans, Seattle's Sir Richard Bishop (the Sun City Girls), Japan's Tetuzi Akiyama …
