Concert recording of surround sound timescore project at REAL ART WAYS, Hartford CT. A document of musical, unmusical, non musical and extramusical events. Continuous, as played, but tracked to be reprogrammable in keeping with the score concept. Beautiful package. Medium-fi; installation package. - ReR Megacorp

Every few months I receive a CD that I am truly excited about getting sent in for review. Usually it's from a band or performer that I've been following for many years.
Chris Cutler have been very prolific over the years, and I probably have close to everything that he's worked on — from the early Henry Cow to the recent experimental improv stuff — I even have his books and magazine articles. When I first put on this new CD from Ponk Records it immediately reminded me of the Cutler/Frith live album, but with three performers (C.W. Vrtacek playing guitar and Thomas Dimuzio working on the sythesizers) it has a much fuller, more varried sound. Recorded live at a 1993 performance in Connecticut, it was mixed down from 66 to 44 minutes. I carefully listened to this one as is the tradition with *difficult music* and it wasn't until it played completely through that I noticed it was divided up into 25 different *cuts*. The liner notes explained how listeners are encouraged to play this disk on "shuffle play" to create a new listening experience each time. My player doesn't have that option but it's great to find unique CDs like this that truly make use of this new technology. - Factsheet Five

Experimental music in a freeform cacaphonic vein by chris Cutler (from Henry Cow, and Art Bears), Thomas Dimuzio (American synthesist), and C.W.Vrtacek (from Forever Einstein). Utlizing instruments including lowgrade electronics, percussion, radio, digital sampler, analog sythesizer, processors, guitar and ray gun, this trio have produced a 44 minute soundscape that is intriguing as it is unsettling. What first seems to be chaos slowly melts into a flow of modern noise that is far more intellectual than industrial.
The long piece is electronically broken into 25 tracks and the liner notes urge the listener to reprogram their CD player and listen to the tracks in a reshuffled order to keep the music alive with refreshing changes. — Matt Howarth, Sonic Curiosity
