Michael Sumner, 'Chamber Music' Contact: ARPH Tapes 1640 18th St. Oakland, CA 94607 USA

Side one contains various short pieces ranging from a piece called Vulcan, which has wolve sounds, percussion and a 20mm aircraft cannon, to a piece called Instructions, which features bird sounds and men's voices. I really like how the usage of found sounds are applied in a coherent manner (for a change). Side two is a 30 minute piece that is described as 'to be used in the furniture music tradition'. I'm not sure what that means, most of this side is the sound of a flute or something. AA
