John Cage & Lejaren Hiller / Ben Johnston – HPSCHD / String Quartet No. 2
Out of stock
$12.00
HPSCHD was a collaboration between John Cage and Lejaren Hiller first performed in 1969 at U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Written for up to 51 electronic sound tapes and up to 7 harpsichords, in this recording all the tapes and 3 harpsichords are used. Included is a computer printout (1971 CDC-6400) for changing the 2 channels on volume, bass and treble levels so “the home listener’s hi-fi set is integral to the composition”. Beepy 70’s computer sounds and dueling harpsichords make for a surprisingly fun listen.
Ben Johnston’s String Quartet is rather gloomy and spare, but has moments of loveliness.
