pliable, do you have the London Decca Head LP of Ferneyhough's Transit (for solo voices and ensemble) which used as its cover a mono-colored version of the astrology graphic you use above? (I'm sure many other groups -- classical and popular -- probably used the same graphic.)

[Last night I listened to my old, rewarding copy of Jean Barraque's 40 minutes of excerpts from his incompleted Hermann Broch "The Death of Virgil" Project. Just as fine as Boulez, if not more so, in my opinion.]

David, you mention G I Gurdieff. I have to say Keith Jarrett's ECM disc of his music is a favourite of mine - http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM/1100/1174.php?lvredir=712&catid=0&doctype=Catalogue&order=releasedate&we_search=%2Bgurdjieff&rubchooser=901&mainrubchooser=9

Vassilis Tsabropoulos' improvisations are also interesting, although a touch 'easy listening' - http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/New_Series/1800/1888.php?cat=&we_start=0&lvredir=712&we_search=%2Btsabropoulos

Thanks for that Mike. What truly remarkable connections these paths throw up.

The typo is now corrected. I just wish there was a composer called John Smith that I could write about.

The Other Minds music group in San Francisco has been programming his pieces at their annual fundraiser with pianist Sarah Cahill for the last couple of years, and it's wonderful music.

I had no idea Rudhyar was part of the Halcyon Theosophist community, a place where my family lived in Central California when I was a child in the early 1960s, surrounded by strange-looking old people who had spinning wheels in their houses set in the middle of a eucalyptus forest.

Thanks for the article and the links, and you might want to correct the "Dan Rudhyar" typo in the Labels.

Email received

The-all time "Strange" mystical composer, Sorabji notwithstanding has got to be Thomas de Hartmann.

How long was Gurdgjieff popular for?--five minutes, ten?
