Gratefulshrink I cannot believe that this is only in four collections at Bandcamp. This is one of the most "out" collaborative pieces of music I have ever heard, and I listen to a lot of weird shit...

about

The world premiere recording of Solo for Voice 58 by legendary American avant-garde composer John Cage. Italian-German dhrupad singer Amelia Cuni is the ideal interpreter, trained in classical Indian singing but also able to improvise on ragas in a new music context. Cuni developed from Cage’s score of eighteen raga scales a remarkable and unique interpretation that belongs to both the classical Indian and Western experimental traditions. Includes an extensive booklet with essays by Amelia Cuni, Indian music scholar and composer Sandeep Bhagwati, and Cage scholar William Brooks (University of York).

Solo for Tamburium

After getting to know the music of Radigue, of whom I had never heard during a long life of collecting music, the discovery of C.C. Hennix is a serendipity of similar proportions. Even if the joke is on me, first I thought there was precious little tambourine on this record, only to realise my error with a joyful sigh - this is so much better than expected! nederlanditis
