A restaging of "Rozart Mix," the tape-collage score JOHN CAGE wrote for ALVIN LUCIER in 1965! A staggering reconstruction by AARON DILLOWAY, former WOLF EYES member and charismatic figure of US noise. Eighty-eight tape loops wound around staircases and furniture, a roughly six-hour performance edited down to 30 minutes here. Comes with a 12-page booklet. An overwhelming and blissful world of non-music/music. Highly recommended.
A large-scale project featuring heavyweights of the US experimental music and sound art scene—ROSE ACTOR-ENGEL, TWIG HARPER, C. LAVENDER, QUINTRON, ROBERT TURMAN, JOHN WIESE and more—finally committed to record! Living US noise legend AARON DILLOWAY reconstructs "Rozart Mix," a performance score built on tape loops. After much research, he shifted to an approach of installing 12 reel-to-reel machines across multiple floors of a building and playing back 88 tape loops spliced together at anywhere from 5 to 175 splice points. Never overlooking the slim margin for experimentation left open by the original, this is a supreme piece of frenzied musique concrète made with both originality and deep reverence. Already sold out at the distributor—don't miss it if you've been looking.
