Editorial Reviews

ALVIN 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 evoca tion 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..

This review is from: Still Lives (Audio CD)

Although I'd be interested, by definition, in any recording of Alvin Lucier's music, this CD is one of the finest I've heard. "Still Lives" itself is one of the composer's most beautiful pieces: clear, but also mysterious. If you like Lucier, the Barton Workshop CD ("Wind Shadows" on New World Records) would be another excellent choice.
