R94 – Loren Rush – “Omaggio a Giuseppe Ungaretti” CD

The second Recital album of composer Loren Rush (b. 1935), contrasts the orchestral grandeur of last year’s LP Dans le Sable with plaintive just intonation piano improvisations.  The album is directly inspired by poems from “L’allegria” (The Joy, 1914-1919), the collection of poetry by Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888, Egypt – 1970, Italy) written in the trenches of World War I.

R88 – Alex Twomey – “Days Off” CD

The second full length album from Alex Twomey. Written between 2019 and 2021, the arrangements resemble pop-structured songs within the margins of sedate orchestral music. The influence of Michael Nyman, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and other English-minimalists is present – but Twomey as one-man composer, performer, and producer delivers a rare intimacy, evoking a familiarity both optimistic and sentimental.

R89 – Loren Rush – “Dans le Sable” LP /CD

Dans le Sable is the first new album in over 40 years by composer, pianist, and digital audio pioneer Loren Rush (b. 1935)A surreal opera scene. A narrator dwells on the significance of passing time. A soprano sings Barbarina’s cabaletta from Figaro, which describes her distraught search in the sand for a lost pin. The chamber orchestra—mostly solo instruments—plays soft, half-forgotten tunes reminiscent of the Parisian music hall. It speaks directly to that thing behind the mind—the point where it connects with the soul. Melancholy phrases are deconstructed and stretched in different retellings, invoking a harmonic fog. Among the most gorgeous records I have heard. A project 7+ years in the making.

Molly learned and self-recorded each piece of the cycle in the corresponding calendar month starting in Jan. 2020 – with a creaky, slightly out-of-tune upright piano and her cellphone’s built-in microphone.

R65 – Eric Andersen – “The Crying Space” 2xCD

This double CD is comprised of two sound pieces by the Fluxus artist Eric Andersen (b. Denmark, 1940).  Fragile narrations played over a streaming assemblage of tragic classical music.

R67 – Adriano Spatola – “Ionisation” LP & CD

The first LP by the Italian poet (1941-1988). Dark, drunken wit and beauty. A desperate humor sneers through this LP, a humor that has surrendered to the severe joke of life long ago – lashing out on syllables and ingrown word games. Including appearances from Gian Paolo Roffi, Paul Vangelisti, and Steve Lacy.

R69 – Sean McCann – “Puck” LP

First album in 3 years by the Californian composer and Recital-owner.  A smear of chamber works and aged personal recordings.  Sound artist Lia Mazzari shares the titular spoken piece: a duet for dialogue about eggs and jewelry (which premiered at Café OTO in 2018).  Moldy text growing on-top of quintets. A fusion of jubilation and gut clenching, Puck balances on the rooftop, tipping side to side in the fog.     

  • Edition of 500
  • 12-page “Puck” pamphlet & 2 art cards with program notes
Price: $21.95

 

 


R64 – Various – “Towards A Total Poetry” LP

Radioplays and sound poems by Julien Blaine, Adriano Spatola, F. Tiziano, and Paul Vangelisti recorded in Los Angeles in 1980. Sadistically funny and dizzy with confusion. Spatola’s stage presence is that of a drunken wolverine, thrashing his words and letters, madly chuckling and whispering secrets to himself.  Towards A Total Poetry is of my personal favorites on Recital… exemplifying the core of what I love to publish.     

  • Limited LP Edition of 250
  • 12-page booklet with essays and poems by the artists
Price: $22.95

R57 – Matthew Sullivan – “Matthew” LP

Matthew is nailed together with driftwood from around the world. The waters of Italy, the pubs of London, birds of Japan, a phone call in Los Angeles. Playing with proximity and depth of field: fading sirens, ripping waters, and digitized breath. The two hallucinatory works are sensory travels folding into themselves.     

  • Limited LP Edition of 250pc
  • Signed & scented insert by Sullivan
Price: $20.95
