[207.1] WELL AND TRULY CANNED

New York avant post-minimalist music collective Bang On A Can have a fine online store, which includes (a further layer back) sound samples of their material. The example I have chosen is Lisa Moore's Frederic Rzewski album, featuring 'De Profundis' (from the text by Oscar Wilde) and 'North American Ballads'. Moore is perhaps better known as pianist with the Steve Reich band. She also sings, shouts, purrs and declaims. Very Cecil Taylor and Schoenberg...
