PHILIP GLASS
Music in similar motion / in fifths LP
• Original 1st pressing
• Label :Chatham Square 1003 / Usa 1973
• Condition :ex-/ex(cover/vinyl)
The definite masterpiece of 20th Century minimalist music from Philip Glass, his debut original vinyl Chatham Square 1973 pressing.

Philip Glass is assisted by his Glass Ensemble of Jon Gibson, Richard Landry, Steve Chambers, Art Murphy, Robert Prado!! This piece, featuring variable instrumentation, is part of Philip Glass's earlier experiments in minimalism and stasis. However, unlike previous works of static repetition, this piece gradually adds new instruments as the music progresses. The significance of each entry causes a remarkable change in the music that lifts the minimalist approach to a higher level of energy and drama. In "Music in Fifths", Philip Glass's ideas are at their most basic, using only addition and subtraction of notes in simple scales to create epic, hypnotic musical forms. Cyclic rhythmical structures, stable harmony, repetitive structures and a steady eight-note beat can be perceived throughout the work.
Philip Glass studied with Vincent Persichetti, Darius Milhaud, William Bergsma, Nadia Boulanger and Ravi Shankar, worked with Laurie Anderson and James Tenney, and is associated with the late 20th century 'minimalism' movement along with John Adams, Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Charlemagne Palestine, Phil Niblock, and Tony Conrad."(kind courtesy of keymap)
Glass is a prolific composer: he has written ensemble works, operas, 8 symphonies, 8 concertos, film scores, and solo works. Glass counts many visual artists, writers, musicians, and directors among his friends, including Richard Serra, Chuck Close, Doris Lessing, Allen Ginsberg, Errol Morris, Robert Wilson, JoAnne Akalaitis, John Moran, actors Bill Treacher and Peter Dean, Godfrey Reggio, Ravi Shankar, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon, David Bowie, the conductor Dennis Russell Davies, and electronic musician Aphex Twin, who have all collaborated with him. Among recent collaborators are Glass' fellow New Yorkers Leonard Cohen, and Woody Allen.

音楽 : Acid Test




"ACID TEST" KEN KESEY & THE MERRY PRANKSTERS LP, on the Sound City Productions label, from 1966 is an original pressing. This private pressing is the Holy Grail of the San Francisco hippie LSD drug scene album. The paste-on front cover and blank back cover, is in EX condition with no seam splitting or writing, does have some light age wear. The heavy & glossy vinyl is in EX+ condition with some light sleeve marks, a very small mark and clean labels. "A real freak out, trippy documentary with some poetry, music with the Grateful Dead, all under the influence of LSD". An absolutely impossible album to find, and here is a great copy in solid condition. CLEANED ON A VPI RECORD CLEANER. STORED IN AN AUDIOPHILE INNER SLEEVE.

極稀、吉岡実、処女詩集『昏睡季節』、初版限定100部、昭和15年。稀覯本としてあまりに有名ですが、とりわけ本書は「手紙にかえて」が添付されたおり、この完本が現存僅かであることは間違いありません。
。「手紙にかへて」です。これによれば、昭和15年5月27日に母親から召集令状を渡された吉岡は、6月5日、友人に『昏睡季節』のノートを託して出征しましたが、すぐに7月23日に除隊となり、その後この詩集を自費出版で刊行しました。文字通り遺書代わりに書かれた『昏睡季節』は、古くから昭和の稀覯詩集として知られ、古書の世界に登場した本も知る限りこれで4冊目でございます。
