AGP59 features three of
Morton Subotnick's works for instruments and ghost electronics,
supplementing those included in AGP6. The "ghost" electronics make no
sound on their own, but alter the amplitude, frequency, and location of
any sounds produced as the electronic score is playing. In his works
for this technology, Subotnick explored the effects of these
manipulations on a variety of instrumental combinations, from single
instruments to chamber ensembles. The rather simple electronic
manipulations in the "ghost" electronics nevertheless produce an
interesting range of timbres, depending on the tone color of the
instruments being manipulated. For more information, see the liner
notes included with AGP6. This installment comprises three works of the fourteen that Subotnick composed for instruments and ghost electronics. Passages of the Beast has Ramon Kireilis on clarinet. Parallel Lines has Laurence Trott on piccolo with members of the Buffalo Philharmonic and Buffalo Creative Associates, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. The Wild Beasts has Miles Anderson on trombone and Virko Baley on piano. The installment includes a text files with the liner notes from the three LPs from which the Subotnick works were transcribed. All three LPs are in excellent condition, with little pressing noise. To download
