Joy Boy
by Julius Eastman
supported by 8 fans who also own “Alvin Lucier: On the carpet of leaves illuminated by the moon (Live Recording)”
“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach Enough said.

Jürg Frey: Pianist, Alone
by R. Andrew Lee
supported by 7 fans who also own “Alvin Lucier: On the carpet of leaves illuminated by the moon (Live Recording)”
Had the pleasure of attending Andy Lee's performance world premiere of "pianist, alone (2)" at CalArts in September 2013. Hearing it again now, it re-strikes me as uniquely, if quietly, stunning. Man music mechanism: all engaged in a pure probing of sonic possibility. Essential, restrained, ultimately rapturous.
