"A pioneer of live electronic music and one of America's most
adventurous composers, Alvin Curran has been walking his own eclectic
path since the late 1960's. The range and scope of his work is
enormous, and unprecedented. Few composers have as many interests, or
as much wit. This special compilation takes us on a whirlwind tour of
fifteen of his most productive years (1987╨2002), capturing both live
and studio performances from around the world. Featuring a seductive
work for chorus and ensemble, an incredible piece for eleven of the
world's largest and loudest musical instruments (shiphorns), an
electroacoustic tribute to John Cage using the sound of his laughter
and the purring of Merce Cunningham's cat and much, much more. This
long overdue release will surely confirm Alvin Curran as one of
America's most courageous and outrageous musical mavericks."
