Not only am I a fan of alt-rock, I also enjoy enjoy the heck out of alt-classical. This record, for me, is essential - I've had it many years, played it many times, and have never gotten tired of it. This record shows up on the "weird music reviews" and I suppose for many it is indeed weird, but for me when I first heard this, it was transformative.
Is it music? This record may challenge your perceptions as it experiments not only with the early use of the computer as a compositional tool but questions the need for melody by maintaining interest through a combination of rhythm and noise.
Lejaren Hiller was a successful scientist before committing full-time to music. His entry to the field was not eagerly accepted but he persisted and is now recognized as a great American composer. Hiller retired from his professorship in the 1980s and passed away in the 1990s.
This disc on Heliodor (2459-006) dates from 1970.
