Max Schubel, the founder and director of Opus One, documents his own compositional voice on the label he ran for decades in service of other composers. Guale The Golden Coast Of Georgia is a work that engages with the coastal landscape and history of Georgia - the Guale were the indigenous people of the Georgia coast, largely exterminated by Spanish colonisation in the 17th century - through a musical language that Schubel developed in dialogue with the experimental and academic currents that his label documented. A rare self-portrait from one of the unsung figures of American new music infrastructure.
