Extractions: A two cassette set with accompanying Maritime Rites poster. Maritime Rites is a series of ten environmental concerts for radio in stereo composed by Alvin Curran and co-produced by Melissa Gould. This series features the eastern seaboard of the United States as a musical source in collaboration with improvised musical performances by ten distinguished artists in the the American New Music scene today: John Cage, Joseph Celli , Clark Coolidge, John Gibson, Malcolm Goldstein , Steve Lacy, George Lewis, Pauline Oliveros , Leo Smith and Alvin Curran. The program uses the natural sound as musical counterpoint to the soloists, whose improvisations are freely structured by Curran in his own tape mixes. The essence of Maritime Rites is improvisation: as nature is spontaneous and unpredictable so is the music of man. The two forces are brought together by Curran in a rich and harmonious concerto for man and his environment. Maritime Rites includes maritime bells, foghorns, gongs, whistles, regional bird and animal life. Comments from lighthouse keepers, Coast Guard personnel and other local people are woven impressionistically throughout. 2 Cassette tapes OUT OF STOCK A composition of selected "musics" from Curran's natural sound collection.

Alvin Curran Alvin Curran s musicmaking embraces all the contradictions (composed/improvised,tonal/atonal, maximal/minimal ) in a serene dialectical encounter. http://www.otherminds.org/shtml/Curran.shtml
Extractions: Alvin Curran's music-making embraces all the contradictions (composed/improvised, tonal/atonal, maximal/minimal...) in a serene dialectical encounter. His nearly 100 works feature taped/sampled natural sounds, piano, synthesizers, computers, violin, percussion, shofar, ship horns, accordion and chorus. Whether in the intimate form of his well-known solo performances, or pure chamber music, experimental radio works or large-scale site-specific sound environments and installations, all forge a very personal language through recombinant invention. Curran was born December 13, 1938, in Providence, Rhode Island. From age five he was involved in piano lessons, trombone, marching bands, Synagogue chants, Jazz, and his father's dance bands. He studied composition with Ron Nelson (B.A. Brown University 1960) and with Elliott Carter and Mel Powell (M.Mus., Yale School of Music l963). In the MUSICA ELETTRONICA VIVA years (1966 -1971 in Rome), Curran performed in over 200 concerts in Europe and the USA with Teitelbaum and Rzewski, Carol Plantamura, Ivan Vandor, Alan Bryant and Jon Phetteplace; and makes significant artistic encounters with: Giuseppe Chiari, Edith Schloss, AMM, Cardew, Steve Lacy, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Steve ben Israel, Anthony Braxton, Simone Forti, Steve Reich, Joan LaBarbara, Michael Nyman, La Monte Young, Trisha Brown, Ashley, Behrman, Gordon Mumma, Alvin Lucier, Larry Austin, Bill Smith, Ketoff, Robert Moog, Nuova Consonanza, MEV2, Meme Perlini, Mario Ricci, Maria Monti, Prima Materia, Ron Bunzl, Phil Glass, Charlemagne Palestine, Terry Riley, George Lewis, Evan Parker, Gregory Reeves, Serge Tcherepnin, Kosugi, Pulsa, Maryanne Amacher, John Cage, David Tudor, and Morton Feldman.
Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Composer A composer is a person who writes music. The term refers particularly to someone who writes music in some type of musical notation, thus allowing others to perform the music. This distinguishes the composer from a musician who improvises. However, a person may be called a composer without creating music in documentary form, since not all musical genres rely on written notation. In this context, the composer is the originator of the music, and usually its first performer. Later performers then repeat the musical composition they have heard.

Curran ALVIN CURRAN. Democratic, irreverent and traditionally experimental,Curran Center Site Memorial Competition New York . Alvin Curran. http://www.brunoagostinelli.it/Staff_new/curran.htm
Extractions: ALVIN CURRAN Democratic, irreverent and traditionally experimental, Curran travels in a computerized covered wagon between the Golden Gate and the Tiber River, and makes music for every occasion with any sounding phenomena a volatile mix of lyricism and chaos, structure and indeterminacy, fog horns, fiddles and fiddle heads. He is dedicated to the restoration of dignity to the profession of making non-commercial music as part of a personal search for future social, political and spiritual forms. Alvin Curran ha collaborato con lo Studio Agostinelli in occasione del concorso internazionale "Un segno luminoso per il terzo millennio" indetto dal Comune di Milano nel 2001 e in occasione del Concorso per il Memoriale in onore delle vittime dell'11 settembre: "World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition - New York" Alvin Curran

Extractions: ossessioni che abitano tutte insieme negli affollati e disordinati appartamenti del mio cervello, aspettando che io riesca a trovare il lievito giusto per farli crescere e diventare un essere musicale completamente nuovo." Tra le sue opere più conosciute, prodotte nel suo soggiorno italiano quando ha concentrato la sua attività sulla musica in solo, Canti e Vedute dal Giardino Magnetico, recentemente ristampato negli Stati Uniti in Cd dalla Catalyst/RCA. Jopshua Kosman ha così recensito il disco: "data la varietà di materiali, quello che colpisce è il modo in cui il brano riesce a essere scorrevole e insieme concentrato. I suoni si alternano, interagiscono e si ricombinano, sempre senza perdere la loro essenziale integrità o il loro senso della direzione drammatica. Col tempo, il brano arriva davvero a costituire quello che con frase abusata si definisce un giardino inferiore. E' musica meravigliosa e memorabile". inizio La serie di performance solistiche in cui elementi raccolti su nastro magnetico - piano, ocarina, gatti, insetti e uccelli, brani radiofonici - vengono integrati dal vivo in una specie di improvvisazione continuamente stimolata dallo svolgersi di un percorso sonoro prefissato con Fiori Chiari, Fiori Oscuri, Libri d'Armonia e Canti Illuminati.
