Artist Catherine Christer Hennix
Title The Electric Harpsichord
Label Die Schachtel
Year 2010

Music Minimalism
Notes A suitably handsome presentation of this rare piece of drone minimalism. The following is from the Die Schachtel website:

Known to the very few, The Electric Harpsichord is possibly THE obscure masterpiece of the days of the early American minimalism. Recorded live in 1976 after many years of study under the guidance of Pandit Pran Nath and LaMonte Young, it has finally found the perfect home in the DieSchachtel ART catalogue: a lavishly produced and innovative silver/black cardboard book+CD edition, that gives the work the space and merit it deserves as a unique work of art, complete with two poems by LaMonte Young especially written for this edition, and an extensive essay by Henry Flynt.
