"available again: the brief/entire catalog of this 20th century composer's label, based out of the paula cooper gallery in nyc, in association with petr kotik's s.e.m. ensemble. this duchamp cd is a similar release to the now-deleted cd on the ampersand label (same title, same general selection of duchamp's major musical pieces); the main difference is that this dwab version features one additional piece, "sculpture musicale" (a mesostic performed by john cage) & features improved sound/performance according to kotik. this cd was recorded in 1987 by s.e.m.

FELDMAN, MORTON	FOR PHILIP GUSTON	DOG W/ A BONE	4CD	€42.90
"originally released in 2000. looking for just one feldman cd to give to someone that you like more than yourself? there's more than one correct answer to this elusive question, but this overwhelming set (closing in on 300 total minutes) is an utter classic, with paralyzing sonic power. feldman is recognized as one of the 20th century's most influential composers. feldman's artistic principles were shaped in the early 1950s by his association with composers cage, earle brown and david tudor and painters philip guston, mark rothko and jackson pollock, to name a few. in keeping with feldman's aesthetic privileges of scale over form, for philip guston, composed in memory of his late friend, expands to a monumental five hours. on the front cover of the comprehensive 4cd set is a reproduction of feldman's portrait by philip guston. the liner notes include a conversation between composers walter zimmerman and kotik, exploring the many facets of feldman's music." recorded in 1995 and performed by s.e.m. ensemble (petr kotik, flute, alto flute, piccolo; joseph kubera, piano, celeste; chris nappi, vibraphone, marimbaphone, glockenspiel, chimes).

FELDMAN, MORTON	TURFAN FRAGMENTS	DOG W/ A BONE	CD	€16.90
"for samuel beckett and the turfan fragments are feldman's only chamber orchestra compositions. both were commissions: the turfan fragments by the swiss-italian radio orchestra in 1980, for samuel beckett by the schönberg ensemble, amsterdam, in 1987. both titles are descriptive and suggest how feldman arrived at a particular concept for each piece. the turfan fragments is a succession of short sections, which could indeed be described as fragments. the title relates the composition to manuscripts from turfan (the southwest region of present-day china). these calligraphic remnants, going back to the ninth century, were brought to germany before world war i and feldman must have seen them while living in berlin in 1971. in contrast, for samuel beckett is based on a single idea of several chord progressions unfolding continuously for almost an hour."

KOTIK, PETR	MANY MANY WOMEN	DOG W/ A BONE	3CD	€38.90
"digitally remastered from the original 1981 labor record release, kotik's many many women has long been considered a masterpiece of 1970s underground music. the polyphonic composition sets gertrude stein's entire novella many many women to music and marks the crystallization of kotik's musical aesthetic. described by richard kostelanetz as 'continually austere and yet engaging, realizing a musical reinterpretation of stein's text,' many many women highlights both the musicality of stein's poetry and kotik's distinctly personal treatment of melody. the liner notes include essays by kostelanetz and village voice critic kyle gann."

MARCLAY, CHRISTIAN	GRAFFITI COMPOSITION	DOG W/ A BONE	CD	€16.90
"in 1996, marclay plastered more than 5,000 posters of blank sheet music in public places throughout berlin during a month-long sound festival. the posters functioned as an open invitation to the public to scribble musical notes, or any other type of graffiti. marclay photographed the graffitied sheets, selected 150 from the group, and compiled them into a portfolio intended to be interpreted and performed by musicians. graffiti composition is the live recording of a one-time performance at the museum of modern art, new york in 2006. led by elliott sharp, it features five world-renowned guitar players: melvin gibbs, mary halvorson, lee ranaldo, vernon reid, and elliot sharp. the release of graffiti composition coincides with the opening of christian marclay: festival at the whitney museum of art, a groundbreaking exhibition highlighting the interplay between the visible, audible and performance that is the hallmark of marclay's work."
