Active since the mid-'60s, Alvin Curran is one of America's most courageous and outrageous musical mavericks. A true forefather to the Downtown scene, his music embraces the dialectics of composition/improvisation, tonality/atonality, minimalism/ maximalism, electronic/acoustic and more. His works are performed worldwide and he has received commissions from most of the world's most important ensembles. Alvin's use of the Shofar in experimental music making goes as far back as 1988, and this long awaited release features several compositions for Shofar and electronics, ranging from meditative Ambient environments to flamboyant, fast moving collage. Shofar Rags is a fabulous and historic release by one of the world's most eclectic and underappreciated musical explorers!
