Tonight's show features a number of wonderful new recordings of groundbreaking experimental work from the 60s and 70s.
Curious about graphic scores? A Young Person's Guide to Treatise is a great place to start.
Interested in La Monte Young's work? Kyle Gann's page on La Monte Young is a good place to start. I am also enjoying This book as a way into the various threads of NY Minimalism that orbit around La Monte Young and Tony Conrad.
If you're interested in La Monte's more recent activities, the MELA Foundation site is the place to go.
Here's a little more information about Human Being. This is an amazing recording.
So you liked "In C"? Here's a copy of the score. Here is a Village Voice article about a recent performance of the piece.
