New...ISKRA3004 *** Artist: ICHIYANAGI/MICHAEL RANTA/TAKEHISA KOSUGI, TOSHI *** Title: Improvisation Sep. 1975 *** Reissue of 300 of a very obscure avant garde album, originally issued in Japan in 1975. Minimal gold & white cover is apparently an exact replica of the uncommon original. "Mind bending slice of drone improv from these three post-WWII heavyweights. Very reminiscent of Taj Mahal Travelers with layers of heavily reverbed ring-mod piano, percussion, and voices (in fact, just about everything in the mix seems ring-modded). Overall sheen resembles prime-era Nurse With Wound (although predating such so by a few seasons). Ichiyanagi is one of the most well known Japanese composers of any era, student of Cage's, Julliard graduate who returned to Japan in 1961 to spread Cage's Indeterminacy principles, Fluxus artist, Yoko Ono's former husband. Ranta is a well regarded contemporary repertoire percussionist, a familiar name to those in the know (close collaborator of Harry Partch's, performed everything from Lachenmann pieces to tape music accompaniments), member of Wired (whose LP was included in the Deutsch Gramophone Free Improvisation boxset). And of course Kosugi is the Group Ongaku founder who merged into the New York Fluxus artists before forming Taj Mahal Travellers, has since been composer-in-residence for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Yet another piece of the puzzle, thought lost in the shag rug below the game table, discovered whilst vacuuming. Awesome." -- Hrvatski...
