| New 20th century composer's label, based out of the Paula Cooper gallery in NYC, in association with Petr Kotik's S.E.M. Ensemble. This Duchamp CD is a similar release to the CD on the Ampere label (same title, same general selection of Duchamp's major musical pieces); the main difference is that this DWAB version features one additional piece, "Sculpture Musicale" (a mesostic performed by John Cage) & features improved sound/performance according to Kotik. This CD was recorded in 1987 by S.E.M. (including Ben Neill on trumpet); the Ampere version was recorded in 1976. "Duchamp's often overlooked musical work was composed for the most part between 1912 and 1921. His method was based on chance and represented a radical departure from the way music was done at the time. Music by Marcel Duchamp includes the artist's complete ouvre, namely 'Erratum Musical' (for three voices), La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même, 'Erratum Musical' (in two different versions for player piano and chamber ensemble), and the conceptual piece 'Sculpture Musicale' (with a special version performed by John Cage). The liner notes contain reproductions of Duchamp's handwritten scores, as well as photographs of the instrumental 'apparatus' used to create the second version of 'La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même (a funnel, seven open top cars and six sets of balls)'. Also included is a mesostic (a poem legible both horizontally and vertically) by John Cage." |
