David Tudor, Takehisa Kosugi

condition (record/cover): NM / NM - Red vinyl LP with die-cut sleeve with insert and OBI.

The long creative alliance between David Tudor and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company produced some of the most radical encounters between sound and movement in the postwar period. Tudor's electronic scores - non-narrative, temporally independent from the choreography, existing in parallel rather than in service - redefined what a relationship between music and dance could be. Takehisa Kosugi, Japanese composer and violinist who would later become Musical Director of the Cunningham Company, contributes Dialects, a work for live electronics and tape. A singular document of a singular collaboration.
