John Cage, Charles Ives, Marcel Duchamp
Ives/Duchamp/Cage (LP)
Historical avant-garde pieces for two pianos (prepared, quarter-tone or with tape) spanning from 1913 to 1944, performed by Kristine Schol and Mats Persson and released on Caprice in 1982 and never re-issued on either LP or CD.
condition (record/cover): M / M Insert included.
Three figures whose creative trajectories share more than their chronological proximity: Charles Ives, working in isolation from the American experimental tradition, anticipating so much of what would come; Marcel Duchamp, whose extension of artistic practice into sound via the readymade and chance prefigured John Cage more directly than almost anyone; and Cage himself, who acknowledged Duchamp as one of his most important models. The Swedish label Caprice Records pressed this pairing with an evident understanding of the intellectual coherence it proposed.
