Last copies, reduced price. "These 8 Pieces combine rich compositional ideas with an elegant sense of sonority and formal imagination. Scholz is well-known as a 'composer's composer', one of the most sophisticated, austere and poetic of all the young Bay Area computer music experimentalists, and this long awaited collection firmly establishes him as one of the finest artists in this genre. Each piece is a beautiful, fascinating and extraordinary exploration of some fundamental musical idea -- rhythm, harmony, tuning, timbre -- and these pieces will expand the ears of everyone from the layperson to the most sophisticated listener." "Computer music from this composer and Hugo/Nebula award nominated science fiction writer, author of Palimpsests. Eight pieces, most based on intervallic relationships and tuning schemes (ala Young) and/or self generating feedback systems (ala Tudor). Quite enjoyable in that form-over-function sort of way, could easily be from any point over the last 25 years. That's a compliment." -- Hrvatski.

Last copies, reduced price. "Randy Hostetler was a highly inventive American composer whose untimely passing was a great loss for American experimental music. Happily Ever After is Hostetler's magnum opus, acclaimed by many as one of the recent singular masterpieces of electronic and text-based music. An extraordinary 45-minute text piece of people telling wonderfully compelling stories, the piece creates its own powerful sonic world. Through careful and virtuoso editing, Hostetler weaves the stories back and forth across the listening space, creating a wonderful collage of sound and story."
