Resonant Spaces is one of John Butcher's most ambitious, radical, and revelatory bodies
of work. Recorded in the wilds of Scotland against neolithic standing stones, within
an emptied oil storage tank, and caves, like all free improvisations, Resonant Spaces
is a conversation, but one unlike others before.

        2.      Crazy Nigger Part 2

Strictly Limited bundle edition of 300 copies, 2 x 180g purple vinyl housed in Nagaoka
anti-static sleeve, plus fold out Obi insert with liner notes by Bradford Bailey and
Mary Jane Leach. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

Julius Eastman’s breathtakingly powerful ‘Nigger Series’, recorded in 1980, available
on vinyl for the first time, correcting an oversight that goes to the root of
conversations about race and politics in contemporary music. Compiling ‘Crazy
Nigger’, ‘Evil Nigger’ and ‘Gay Guerrilla’ together for the first time, they form
a long overdue showcase of Eastman’s genius, an unmissable portal for anyone
intrigued by this hugely compelling artist and his music.
Julius Eastman (1940-1990) was a prodigious voice within the influential American
avant-classical movement of the 1970s. As a composer, pianist, Grammy-nominated
vocalist and dancer, he brought unique qualities to the downtown minimalist movement
most commonly associated with Philip Glass and Steve Reich. But where their music
has received no shortage of accolades, by the early ‘80s  Eastman’s staggering
compositional contributions during the same era were practically unknown beyond
tapes circulated between his peers.

BLUME   017     ALVIN LUCIER            VESPERS                         LP      05.2020

        01.     Alvin Lucier            Vespers
        02.     Alvin Lucier            Chamber

'Vespers' (1969) and 'Chambers' (1968), the two works featured on this LP, witness
Lucier rethinking the material and conceptual possibilities of music at every turn.
First released as Lucier's contribution to the Sonic Arts Union's lone LP, Electronic
Sound, in 1972, 'Vespers' is a work generated by two equal actors - the performers
and the space that they occupy. Conceived following a chance encounter with hand-held
echolocation technology -the SondolÖ, a pulse oscillator that emits short, sharp
pulses at variable repetition speeds, producing echoes from the reflecting walls of
a space to register relative location and orientation- it stands as one of the first
works in history within which the decisions made during the performance are solely
based on acoustics, allowing sound to be equally the content and structural determiner.
Edition of 300 copies on 160 gram audiophile coloured (dark blue) vinyl.
