With AGP155,
we take a break from our nostalgic revue of the early avant-garde to
get back to some more mission-critical material. This is the first of
three or four more installments in the US Electronic Series, and
comprises a transcription of a CRI LP (SD 476) featuring works by Meyer
Kupferman. The eletronic parts of these works are recordings with
little electronic manipulation by the same performer who plays live in
the piece. In track 01 it is piano (Gilbert Kalish) and in track 03
violin (Max Pollikoff). The combination of live and recorded piano in
track 01 reminds me in places of the player-piano music of Conlon
Nancarrow, and in one part has what sounds like a nod to Charles
Tomlinson Griffes. Track 02 has some gorgeous passages, inspired by
music the composer played as a child with his father To download
