Album Notes & Community Reviews

Cornelius Cardew and his cohorts bypassed traditional instrumentation by bowing cymbals, scraping gongs, and feeding live transistor radio static directly into their amplifiers. This uncompromising session captures a stark, atonal environment that entirely dissolves the line between deliberate composition and random noise.

Genres

Descriptors: improvisation, avant-garde, atonal, instrumental, noisy, dissonant, experimental, minimal, long-form
