condition (record/cover): NM / NM - Grey sleeve. Black labels. Francis Miroglio remains underperformed, a composer whose experiments with open form and graphic notation placed him at the avant-garde's cutting edge without securing lasting fame. Extensions 2 on Philips documents one installment in his Extensions series, works that extend traditional notation into visual and spatial dimensions.
Miroglio studied with Darius Milhaud and Nadia Boulanger, impeccable credentials that he proceeded to subvert. His scores incorporate drawings, colors, unconventional symbols that performers must interpret rather than simply execute. The music that results carries built-in variability; no two performances sound identical. Philips's prestige series granted this experimental work visibility it might otherwise have lacked, introducing ears trained on conventional notation to something stranger.
Black labels, grey non-metallic cover issue. Reissue not before 1975 due to black plastic center ring. Some copies have a price code PG 321 on sticker, not added before late 1978.
