“This collection is an absolute must for fans of contemporary composers.”
Alvin Lucier hardly needs an introduction as one of the pivotal minimalist composers in the crossover between the 20th + 21st Century. This “Second Edition” of Illuminated by the Moon as printed on back of box, is hand-numbered in 500 copies (on 180 gram vinyl), comes with a gorgeously illustrated 120pp book – the Swiss publisher Züricher Hochschule der Kunste pairing with Oren Ambarchi’s incredible Black Truffle imprint has done a superb job on this set, delivering striking historical content. Since 1952 the American experimental composer has consistently developed a series of provocative, engaging works and at 87 years old has built quite a legacy, as so honed in this set. The New Englander (like me) has often sought of the various phenomena in the perception of sound itself. His most famous work, I Am Sitting In A Room (1969) is featured here, along with nine other lengthy works.
