I suppose it sounded "unresonant" only because I was still not used to the "authentic" sound of early electro-acoustic recordings.<br /> Now I simply love that recording, as I do Kurzwellen and Mixtur.

But most of the instruments in these performances were acoustic (piano, bass, sax/clarinet, percussion), with only one purely electronic instrument (Bojé's elektronium) and one electronically modified acoustic instrument (Fritsch's Caleb Deupreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013497049609718830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277834608335954268.post-39977515097460750162009-12-16T11:46:21.214-08:002009-12-16T11:46:21.214-08:00Caleb,

I found it difficult to get absorbed in that recording (unlike, say, Kurzwellen, Mixtur or Mantra), but I wonder if it is more a matter of very unresonant electronic sounds (typical of early recordings of Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254294523764695548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277834608335954268.post-8314089660014184572009-12-15T13:23:07.213-08:002009-12-15T13:23:07.213-08:00Looks like I'll have to get back to visiting I...Looks like I'll have to get back to visiting IHM-- it's a persnickety place, but sure has some good discussions!DaveXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603104314585154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277834608335954268.post-27213342635147523942009-12-12T08:29:57.913-08:002009-12-12T08:29:57.913-08:00Thank you for the link to this performance of Cage...Thank you for the link to this performance of Cage's Four6. I haven't heard it yet (it's downloading) but should leave a comment before I forget. I've come to think that Cage's last decade and a half comprise his greatest work, the Freeman Etudes, Etudes Australes and all of the "number pieces" are simply a phenomenal and unsensational, very disciplined and sober mareadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479051354752206980noreply@blogger.com
