Pogus is absolutely delighted to offer this new release
featuring
Australian new music ensemble Decibel performing four works
by Alvin
Lucier, three of which are previously unrecorded.
Ever Present (2002), the only work offered here that
has been recorded before is for flute, saxophone, and piano
with slow
sweep pure wave oscillator and is considered by many to be
Lucier’s
most musical work. Carbon Copies (1989) is for
saxophone, piano, flute and playback; the work investigates
musicians imitating their environments. Hands
(1994) is for organ with four players. The performers use
their hands
to subtly alter the harmonics produced from the pipes of an
organ. Shelter
(1967) is for vibration pickups, amplification system and
enclosed
space and finds Lucier offering the sounds of outside a
performance
space. All these works as always are amazing examples of
Alvin Lucier’s
fertile mind and exploring, experimental sensibility. One of
the true
originals.
Alvin Lucier was born in 1931 in Nashua, New
Hampshire. He was educated in Nashua public and parochial
schools, the
Portsmouth Abbey School, Yale, and Brandeis and spent two
years in Rome
on a Fulbright Scholarship. Lucier has pioneered in many
areas of music
composition and performance, including the notation of
performers'
physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live
performance, the
generation of visual imagery by sound in vibrating media,
and the
evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes. His recent
works
include a series of sound installations and works for solo
instruments,
chamber ensembles, and orchestra in which, by means of close
tunings
with pure tones, sound waves are caused to spin through
space.
Decibel are world leaders in the integration of
acoustic instruments and electronics, pioneering electronic
score
formats, including the Decibel Scoreplayer App,
incorporating mobile
score formats and networked coordination performance
environments. The ensemble has collaborated with
composers such as
Werner Dafeldecker, Agostino Di Scipio, Alvin Curran, David
Toop,
Marina Rosenfeld, Lionel Marchetti, Andreas Weixler and
Johannes S.
Sistermanns and worked with iconic Australian composers Jon
Rose, Alan
Lamb, Ross Bolleter, Warren Burt, Eric Griswold and Anthony
Pateras. Decibel have contributed the Australian
premieres of
works by Fausto Romitelli, Tristan Murail, Alvin Lucier,
Peter
Ablinger, Mauricio Kagel and have toured monograph concerts
dedicated
to Alvin Lucier and John Cage.
