Three composers at the radical edge of their respective national scenes, united here by the organ as a site of sonic investigation. Gordon Mumma, the American sound artist and electronics pioneer, approaches the instrument with the same interest in feedback and cybernetic process that defined his collaborative work with the Cunningham Company. Christian Wolff's music for organ follows his characteristic method of indeterminate performer interaction. Mauricio Kagel, the Argentine-German composer whose work consistently subjected musical institutions and conventions to theatrical deconstruction, takes the organ's cultural weight as part of his material. A lucid triangulation of three very different experimental practices.
