Two versions of Miroglio's excellent composition for percussion ensemble, performed by Les Percussions de Strasbourd and released on Philips' silver covers "Prospective 21e Siècle" series. Black labels.

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.
