Description

Tod Dockstader – Quatermass
The Washington Post describes Tod Dockstader as "one of the giants in the field" of electronic music.

Tod Dockstader – Apocalypse
"The obsessive care with which Starkland have compiled these extraordinary recordings should ensure that Dockstader will be remembered as the innovative, visionary figure he undoubtedly was." - The Wire

From A to Z
A specially priced sampler with ten electroacoustic works. "Full of fresh, inventive sonorities and often a genuine sense of fun." - Stereo Review

Paul Dresher – Casa Vecchia
"One of the best and most original of post-minimalist composers." - Stereo Review

Phillip Bimstein – Garland Hirschi's Cows
"Outstanding in his field...[Bimstein] has used digital sampling technology to tell wry and moving stories, and to elevate the mundane to the level of high art... brilliantly original." - Stereophile

Charles Amirkhanian – Walking Tune
Amirkhanian is a leading practitioner of electroacoustic music and text-sound composition.
"Descriptive, specific, lush, and oddly exotic." - Laurie Anderson

Guy Klucevsek – Transylvanian Softwear
Works by William Duckworth, Fred Frith, Klucevsek, and John Zorn.
"Recording of Special Merit" - Stereo Review

Jay Cloidt – Kole Kat Krush
"Cloidt's music is a kind of cross between P.D.Q. Bach and Jimi Hendrix, with a little Charles Ives thrown in. It's irresistible." - San Francisco Chronicle

Guy Klucevsek – Free Range Accordion
"A rebel with an accordion...Klucevsek combines poker-faced wit and imagination with command of his instrument, forcing you to re-think the accordion's limitations." - Downbeat
Works by Burt Bacharach, Lars Hollmer, Aaron Jay Kernis, Jerome Kitzke, Klucevsek, Stephen Montague, Somei Satoh, and Lois V Vierk.

IMMERSION
Starkland commissioned thirteen surround sound pieces exclusively for this DVD-Audio/Video release. It's the first such recording in history. Works by Paul Dolden, Paul Dresher, Ellen Fullman, Phil Kline, Lukas Ligeti, Ingram Marshall, Merzbow, Meredith Monk, Bruce Odland, Pauline Oliveros, Maggi Payne, Carl Stone, and Pamela Z.
"Not only a fascinating array of musical innovation but a persuasive exploration of the possibilities of surround sound." - Sound & Vision

Roger Kleier – Deep Night, Deep Autumn
Kleier seduces listeners by mutating, sampling, layering, mangling, and digitally processing his guitar, creating moods from relentless tension to lyrical calm.

Robert Een – Mystery Dances
The infectious "suavely post-minimalist music" (Village Voice) from this award-winning composer, singer, and cellist provides "an exhilarating listening experience" (Meredith Monk).

Pamela Z – A Delay Is Better
This is the first CD devoted exclusively to works by this “funny, inventive, and talented” (Village Voice) composer/performer. Offering some of her most widely enjoyed signature pieces, the recording is “an impressive survey of Z's imaginative compositions” (Pauline Oliveros).

Phillip Bimstein – Larkin Gifford's Harmonica
Containing five engrossing musical portraits of western people and places, this release is a worthy followup to Bimstein’s previous Starkland CD Garland Hirschi’s Cows. Introduced by John Adams.

In Production

Paul Dresher – Slow Fire
In Paul Dresher's "electric opera" Slow Fire with Rinde Eckert, two of America's most dynamic forces in contemporary performance create "a masterpiece" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Steve Mackey – Ravenshead
Declared the "Best New Opera of the Year" by USA Today in 1998, Ravenshead combines Steve Mackey's multi-faceted score, the dazzling Rinde Eckert, and the superb Paul Dresher Ensemble.

Erling Wold – A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil
This "unique, breathtaking, and thoroughly unflawed" (Progression Magazine) chamber opera is based on a Max Ernst 1930s surrealist novel, which explores the world of religious ecstasy and erotic desire.

Jay Cloidt – Spectral Evidence
Two ambitious and diverse works from Jay Cloidt, "one of new music's brightest lights" (All-Music Guide).

The Prism Orchestra
"Quite remarkable...three fine performances of three excellent works...the technical aspect of the recording is excellent as is the accompanying program booklet." - Composer/USA.

Sharon Mabry
Sharon Mabry's sensitive and moving performances of contemporary songs have won enthusiastic praise for this mezzo-soprano's "healthy, versatile and expressive voice" (The New York Times).
