Album Notes & Community Reviews
Documenting a massive, career-spanning celebration at Town Hall, this essential collection perfectly summarizes a profoundly disruptive avant-garde philosophy. The highly complex, wildly aleatory compositions utilizing unconventional instrumentation radically questioned the very fundamental definitions of music and organized sound.
