The Road (1996)

  • “So the piece has to be long enough to virtually guarantee that nobody (except of few nuts) will listen to the whole thing…things happen for no reason at all, they’re just there, like a Burma-Shave sign, or a wrecked car that appears for a moment.” Q2
  • “The music shows to excellent advantage one of Rzewski’s (for me) more engaging sides—a taste for the whimsically extravagant meander crafted in an anything but slipshod manner.”ArkivMusic/Fanfare

FeedCorn Ear (2012)

“These CDs have pieces made in two different ways. Traditionally (since 1968), I recorded tones played by an instrument (by an instrumentalist), arranging these single tones into mutli-layered settings, making thick textured drones, with many microtones. In the early days, I prescribed the microtones, tuning the instrumentalist, when I was using audio tape. Later, I used the software ProTools, and made the microtones as I made the pieces.

FeedCorn Ear and A Cage of Stars were made this way.” A Number of Small Things
