The long awaited reissue of Mode's second LP set, remastered
with bonus tracks.
Cage's relationship with the Cornish Institute in Seattle
dates back to the 1930s, when he taught there and performed as
accompanist for many dance pieces. Cornish was also the scene
of several of his musical discoveries and innovations.
* Cage's celebrated return to the Cornish Institute in
1983 led to these recordings of his conducting Atlas
Eclipticalis performed simultaneously with Winter Music - a
rare opportunity to hear Cage perform his own works.
* Two complete 80-minute long performances are presented
here, captured live in concert.
* New 96khz/24-bit mastering made from the original analog
tapes.
* The original liner notes by John Cage and the New
Performance Group's Matthew Kocmieroski are supplemented with
new essays on Atlas Eclipticalis by Cage's long-time colleague
and publisher Don Gillespie, and on Winter Music by Stephen
Drury.
* Originally released as a 4-LP set on Mode in 1986,
reissued on CD for the first time.
BONUS TRACKS: FIRST RELEASE
The first recording of all 86 instrumental parts of Atlas
Eclipticalis, recorded under Cage's supervision at the "John
Cage at Wesleyan Festival" in 1988 with all-star players
including the Arditti Quartet, Alvin Lucier, Christian Wolff,
Neely Bruce and others.
