Album Notes & Community Reviews
This landmark recording offers a masterful interpretation of Cornelius Cardew's revolutionary 193-page graphic score, originally composed between 1963 and 1967. The entirely abstract, non-traditional notation challenges the performers to engage in highly sparse, profoundly indeterminate avant-garde improvisation.
