Title:	The Yellow Box
Label:	PIANO (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PIANO 504

"1996 CD documenting a decade (and then some) of collaborations featuring Gordon (sax, piano, keys, percussion, guitar) and Cunningham (guitars, loops and treatments, prepared piano, percussion, keyboards) with John Greaves (bass), Anton Fier (drums), and David Van Tieghem (percussion triggers). What started in 1981 as a loose experiment in location recording and 'found objects' morphed into this selection of synth drones, free jazz blasts, cut-up spoken revelations, electric instrumental minimalism (with the over popular RIO influence) and tape hiss. Pretty great, actually..." -- Hrvatski.

Title:	Voiceworks
Label:	PIANO (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PIANO 505

1992 CD reissue of an album originally released only in Japan. "This music is not only concerned with voices. The voice is the element which unifies the differing treatments. Through this point of reference the processes are exposed and allowed an identity beyond the role of pure manipulation. The technical procedures are not in themselves important. They are devices. A vocabulary of musical electronics (as opposed to electronic music) to structure the voicings of other musics. The important element in the construction of much of this music is the exploration of 'soft' systems, responsive systems as opposed to pure process.The studio and associated machines draw on the grain. The physical properties, of the source material. This overall approach deals with music as texture and as a time-based activity as well as rhythm, melody and harmony. For the most part it can only exist as recorded sound."

Artist:	OWADA
Title:	Nothing
Label:	PIANO (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	PIANO 508

"Owada are a three-piece formed in London two years ago. Featuring 23 tracks representative of their live set, Owada's debut album is long on songs and short on shit. Without using too many notes and with hardly any superfluous words, Owada break music down and build it up to make funny and straight, sad and happy songs. The album has its low and its high, and through thick and thin, big songs and small, it takes the rough with the smooth heavy-handedly and with a lightness of touch. Owada are hot and they're cold. They blow and they suck. Owada are nothing. Nothing was produced by David Cunningham."

"This is a CD-ROM anthology of much of the diverse video and sound work collaborations produced by the artist Stephen Partridge and David Cunningham over the last twenty five years. David Cunningham is a leading figure in the world of new music. He is a founder member of The Flying Lizards and has worked with Michael Nyman, Peter Greenaway, Peter Gordon and John Greaves, composing music for feature films and soundtracks for artists such as Gillian Wearing and Sam Taylor-Wood. The video artist Stephen Partridge is well known in the contemporary art world. This CD-ROM is a game of image, representation and reference. Both artists see this project as an independent art work, allowing the user freedom to move through overlapping paths, to reach the last sentence -- if there is one. "
