Chicago Sound Map - Performs Compositions by Olivia Block and Ernst Karel

Recorded on April 8, 2008 in the Claudia Cassidy Theater at the Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago, Illinois. Stop the Sound of the Big Bell mixes traditional and graphic notational techniques leaving open spaces for structured improvisation for each player at different times. It is designed so the improvised segments fit within the larger framework of the piece, instead of driving the form of the composition. Heard Laboratories, performed uses as its score an edited phonographic work consisting of recordings of scientific research environments at Harvard University: parts one and two are direct interpretations of tracks one and two of Heard Laboratories (and/OAR, 2009). US Shipping Included, rest of the world $4.
