LP, 250 hand-numbered copies. The third record in the ini.itu catalogue: three tracks assembled by Kraig Grady under the name Anaphoria, the imaginary island of which he is a citizen and where he runs the Austronesian Outpost and its Office of Cultural Liaisons. David Toop has called him an ethnographic surrealist. Grady was born in California in 1952, of Ojibwe descent, and lives in Australia. He studied composition, improvised for a while under the influence of Stockhausen's ensemble pieces, and then in 1976 attended a performance of Harry Partch's U.S. Highball that sent him somewhere else entirely. Meeting Erv Wilson gave him the means: Wilson's hexanies, his combination product sets, his meta-slendro, and the larger tonal geometries he spent a lifetime drawing.

From then on Grady built the instruments to play them, mesotonal and xenharmonic metallophones, marimbas, hammered dulcimers and reed organs, and assembled them into ensembles. The music here is presented as though it had come from somewhere with its own geography, rather than as composition. He has also written for silent film and for shadow puppet plays, and his work has been played at the LA Philharmonic's American Music Weekend and at New Music America.
