Editorial Reviews
The Wire, March 2001
Retrieves two important works by this major yet relatively neglected figure. It makes for rich listening.
Signal to Noise, Spring 2001
... a great epiphany of electronic music along with certain spectacular moments in masterpieces by the likes of Stockhausen and Xenakis.
Album Description
David Rosenboom (b. 1947), who has been widely acclaimed as a pioneer in American experimental music since the 1960's. He is a composer, performer, conductor, interdisciplinary artist, author, and educator having explored ideas in his work about the spontaneous evolution of forms, languages for improvisation, new techniques for ensembles, cross-cultural collaborations, performance art, computer music systems, interactive multi-media, compositional algorithms, and the structure of the brain and nervous system. These two works, Portable Gold and Philosophers’ Stones (1972) and On Being Invisible (1976-77), are classics of live electronic music involving extended musical interface with the human nervous system.
