Sounding
the New ViolinSounding
the New ViolinSix pieces composed for, and in collaboration with, violinist Malcolm Goldstein, that have extended the image of violin sounding, each in their own way. Includes the following: Eight Whiskus by John Cage; Portrait of Malcolm by Pauline Oliveros; Trinity by Ornette Coleman; (gamelan) The Gold Stone by Philip Corner; and Koan by James Tenney.
Collecting the thoughts and perceptions that have evolved from his past twenty-five years of music making and observation of the natural world, Malcolm Goldstein offers a very particular view of improvisation: "the musician as one centered in the process of discovery, unfolding moment to moment, that is realized in the gesture of enactment/sounding." Through articles, previously published in various periodicals, interspersed and embellished with excerpts from journals, interviews, letters, and music scores, the author touches on social, political, educational, aesthetic and economic considerations as he explores the "expression of the wholeness of our humanity."

No World (Trio) ImprovisationsJoseph Celli, reeds and electronics, and Jin Hi Kim, komungo and changgo drum, in a series of trio improvisations that include West African drummer Mor Thiam, Australian didjeridu player Adam Plack, vocalist Shelley Hirsch, violinist Malcolm Goldstein and Alvin Curran on electronics. College Music Journal wrote, "The beauty of this work is that it's always new, always unique and never sends you home humming a tune. Instead, it leaves you full of ideas of your own and a sense that you have been exploring new cerebral turf."

Summoning of Focus on Organic OboeA CD reissue of the original 1978 recording which also includes works by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Elliot Schwartz and Joseph Celli. Goldstein's piece, composed for Celli in 1977, is a framework for improvisation, a process of exploring through sonic ritual and technical excellence. When originally issued, Downbeat Magazine wrote, "...Boldly experimental...startling...." Celli performs on oboe, Engilsh horn, electric English horn, short wave radio and various sound modifiers with voice.
Layers and layers and layers of wailing saxes (Ulrich Krieger), smearing violins (Malcolm Goldstein), Peruvian instrumentalists and twanging komungo (Jin Hi Kim) in Celli's post-minimal music for video. Over 70 minutes of pulsating sounds, including Andes for 7 Peruvian musicians and a mountain of televisions.
A two cassette set with accompanying Maritime Rites poster. Maritime Rites is a series of ten environmental concerts for radio in stereo composed by Alvin Curran and co-produced by Melissa Gould. This series features the eastern seaboard of the United States as a musical source in collaboration with improvised musical performances by ten distinguished artists in the American New Music scene today: John Cage, Joseph Celli, Clark Coolidge, John Gibson, Malcolm Goldstein, Steve Lacy, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros, Leo Smith and Alvin Curran. The program uses the natural sound as musical counterpoint to the soloists whose improvisations are freely structured by Curran in his own tape mixes. The essence of Maritime Rites is improvisation; as nature is spontaneous and unpredictable so is the music of man. The two forces are brought together by Curran in a rich and harmonious concerto for man and his environment. Maritime Rites includes maritime bells, foghorns, gongs, whistles, regional bird and animal life. Comments from lighthouse keepers, Coast Guard personnel and other local people are woven impressionistically throughout.
