Label: Mode

Price: $17.98

Description: This piece from 1968 is another fine example of the composer\'s creation of massive constellations of sound from blocks built up out of little musical events and his conducting of them through various alternations, transformations and collisions. The tape part is made up almost entirely of orchestral sounds slightly altered in pitch which lessens the contrast between orchestra and tape. The longest version yet, at 77:18, this one uses a completely restored version of the original analogue tape part. The label helpfully tells us: "Play Loud", "A jouer le plus fort possible" and "So laut wie möglich abzuspielen"; why hold back in the English? Callithumpian Consort; Stephen Drury.
