Eberhard Blum Erhard Grosskopf Ralph Jones Berlin To Buffalo Flutist extraordinaire Eberhard Blum is best known for his performances of works by Morton Feldman and other members of the New York School. For four decades, he has been at the forefront of innovative musical performance. On this CD, Blum performs novel works by Erhard Grosskopf and Ralph Jones, scores that involve a special collaboration between performer and composer. The compositions are scored in unique ways: one is in the form of a mandala with twenty-four sound events positioned around a center silence. A player follows paths through the score. The second draws upon the mobile score technique of Earle Brown; the performer explores the pitches of a single chord, with either an ensemble of flutes or, as on this CD, solo flute with recycling tape delay. A third work, Grosskopf's 'Night Tracks', is a composition for electronic tape alone, based upon a series of recorded words that have been played back in loops at slightly different speeds, continually changing the timbre, rhythm and tempo.
