Product Description
Large Music presents "Evolution of New Sounds", a potent mix of dubby & dark electric grooves created by our exclusive group of top dance floor scientists. Working around the clock in our top secret sound lab, our brave team mixed and poured until they found the perfect dancefloor blend. A pinch of techno, a dab of electro, and a full cup of soul form the new sounds that are featured in this extraordinary collection. Canadian Peter Hecher gets things started here with the robotic-influenced masterpiece entitled Funkdified. The vibe continues as guest stars Roy Davis Jr., Kerri Chandler, Chicago’s Glen Underground, and Grammy award nominee Jay-J all make an appearance. Our sound experiment concludes with two great tracks from nu-school dance artists Pete Moss and Natural Rhythm. This is a timeless collection for brave dance floor enthusiasts

Album Description

Ann Arbor, Michigan, seems an unlikely site for the establishment of a major avant-garde festival that would shake the new-music community. Tucked away in America's heartland, the city is equally removed from the Eastern metropolises whose artists pride themselves on sensing the pulse of the times, and from the nonconformist West Coast. Yet during the 1960s Ann Arbor played host to one of the most extraordinary adventures in American music history: the annual ONCE Festival and its nexus of related activities.

The primary aim of ONCE's founders--Robert Ashley, Gordon Mumma, George Cacioppo, Roger Reynolds, and Donald Scavarda--was to create a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge music. To this end they were phenomenally successful. Performers and composers--whether little-known or renowned--embraced the endeavor, demanding almost nothing in return. Perhaps most important, however, ONCE acted as a creative stimulus for its organizers. Scavarda describes the adventure as an explosion of pent-up energy: "Suddenly we could write anything we wanted and have it heard." And they did. The ONCE composers--and many guest artists--wrote a host of new works, some experimental, others more traditional.

What united the ONCE composers was their exploration of sound, whether through the medium of extended techniques on traditional instruments, electronic (or electronically modified) timbres, or the intersection of musical sounds with those of the environment.

A major slice of ONCE's rich musical legacy--35 works constituting six hours of music--is presented here, almost all for the first time. These pieces are as diverse in style as they are compelling in expression. This landmark set, the most comprehensive document ever released of this legendary event, is an opportunity for anyone interested in contemporary music to hear history in the making. Included in the set is a 140-page booklet with a lengthy scholarly essay by musicologist and biographer Leta Miller and numerous rare photos of ONCE personages and performances.
