This review is from: Cage Machine (Audio CD)
I heard (with delight) passages from this album on John Shafer's daily radio show "New Sounds" (via www.wnyc.com) yesterday; -- glad to see the CD's available. Dresher remains a significant presence among composer/musicians of our time: his work is at once strong, deep, satisfying, complex, highly innovative, and (as noted here) enjoyable and fresh. [Paul's in NYC so as to appear this week in a Carnegie Hall concert series curated by John Adams.] The relationship between this work's sampled sounds & John Cage's "prepared piano" is best explicated by Dresher himself (as I belive he does in liner notes).
Looking forward to exploring this more fully in coming days.
