First album released in 1977 by American percussionist Donald Knaack, who studied music with John Cage and now continues his avant-garde musical activities as The Junkman. It features his mentor John Cage's 1956 work 'For a Percussionist' and a 1913 composition by Marcel Duchamp, one of the most important artists of 20th-century art, who produced numerous objets d'art, including 'Fountain', a three-dimensional work with a handwritten signature on a toilet bowl. Marcel Duchamp's A1 is a collection of 12 wind chimes, xylophones made from bottles and glass tubes, wine glasses and tube-shaped chimes, and other glass objects used for percussion. John Cage's A2/B1 are tape realisations of percussion sounds created using objects and regular percussion and processed through the Moog Percussion Trigger. This is a great stuff for avant-garde DJ's tools, as well as a listening, off course.
