description:
First volume of this definitive series of the work of one of the most unique outsider avant garde composers of the 20th century. As a forefather of MIDI and computer music, Nancarrow created his amazing studies by composing directly onto player piano rolls by hand; they range from atonal deconstructions of ragtime, boogie-woogie, and blues to intricate tempo experiments to abstract patterned soundscapes, all highly rhythmic and most impossible to perform by human hands. Includes insert, with notes by James Tenney and series producer Charles Amirkhanian. Highly recommended.
artist info from album notes etc.:
Nancarrow lived a somewhat secluded life in Mexico City, creating his experimental compositions by hand on player piano rolls, and was introduced to the world by Merce Cunningham and John Cage, who selected and arranged his pieces for use in a dance work; Nancarrow studied under Nicolas Slonimsky, Walter Piston, and Roger Sessions, worked with James Tenney, was Gyorgy Ligeti's favorite American composer, is commonly paired with Harry Partch as a pioneer of American 'homemade' music, and is increasingly acknowledged as an important forebear of modern electronic, computer programmed, electroacoustic, and even hip-hop music, especially with his incorporation/proto-sampling of jazz/piano and use of unplayable rhythms and multiple tempi.

Packing I pack professionally and with the utmost care drawn from years of experience trading vinyl internationally. I use new record mailers from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective) reinforced with cardboard inserts and bubble wrap padding. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves and with the vinyl outside of the cover to prevent damage. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. Unless requested, no paper invoice is included in the package, both to save trees and to avoid customs difficulties. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know.
Payment I accept Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment). Please email with any payment questions. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an eBay invoice to winners shortly after my auctions close, and an email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment.
Other Info Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use eBay's 'ask a question' function. Records are visually graded unless otherwise noted; my condition rating scale is M (sealed) / NM (unplayed) / EX (barely used) / VG (some evident wear from prior use but no major flaws) / G (major flaws) / F (very major flaws). All included album inserts are pictured in the listing; what you see is what you get, if I know an insert is missing I will mention it in the description. Satisfaction guaranteed; if you have any problems with your order please contact me directly.
