David Tudor Plays Cage and Tudor
by "Blue" Gene TyrannyBrilliant performances of two extended compositions showing the two aspects of Tudor -- as a creative pianist in his now classic 1958 realization of John Cage's "Solo for Piano" (from the "Concert for Piano and Orchestra" 1957-58, and recorded in 1982 in Amsterdam), and as an innovative composer-performer of live electronic music in his "Neural Synthesis (No. 2)" (1993), created on the Neural-Network Audio Synthesizer which utilizes the Intel 80710NX neural-network chip, and recorded in live performance in Brooklyn, NY in that same year. For further description, please see the review of Tudor's Lovely Music Neural Synthesis CD.
