Alan Sondheim - "This work is a single improvised performance in which one of the performers sings "Oratorio On The End Of Illusions", although, in my libretto the words were originally "Oratorio On The End Of Visions". A libretto of eight pages was prepared. The vocalists were not told how to sing it. They could go backward or repeat any section if they wanted to. There was no score. The only instruction given to the instrumentalists was this: no playing behind the koto or classical guitar. I had several rehearsals with each of them, mostly individually. The session lasted through two takes, this is the second. After the master was made, I added reverberation and volume controlling; other than that, all of the music heard here is from the live performance."
Personnel: Alan Sondheim (electric guitar, Hawaiian steel guitar, classical guitar, koto, bansuri, suling, clarinet, violin, English horn, alto saxophone, xylophone, sona); Ruth Ann Hutchinson (vocals); Robert Poholek (trumpet, cornet); Chris Mattheson (bass instrument); J.P. (drums); Barry Sugarman (bongos, tabla).
Re-issued on the notoriously eclectic ESP label in the late sixties, Alan Sondheim's recorded debut, RITUAL-ALL-7-70, followed ESP releases from experimental jazz legend Sun Ra and woolly downtown noise-mongers The Godz--an odd but fitting spot for Sondheim, whose painstakingly composed and often willfully dissonant releases inhabit some unclassifiable stylistic realm that embraces free jazz, classical avant garde, and pure noise. Sondheim plays guitar, koto, violin, english horn, and an assortment of other instruments on this genre-defying work.
Very good + condition record has several minor scuffs that do not affect play. Good condition cover has edge wear, ring wear, scuffing, corner wear/tear lower left front & small stains on back. Riverboat Records RB-3.
