sounds like an amazing show
found a copy of this recently: http://www.amazon.com/Chambers-Scores-Alvin-Lucier/dp/0819550426/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1368553358&sr=1-2
worth it. the early scores are all prose, pointing at and digging around the ideas behind the music; I found it as inspiring as Silence or A Year From Monday

Fantastic report Ward, real shame I couldn't be there.

This looks positively amazing. Stoked for the 120 page book(let) alone.
This compilation, if it can be called that, sorely misses 'Still and Moving Lines of Silence in Families of Hyperbolas', 'Music On A Long Thin Wire' and especially 'Bird and Person Dyning', but perchance it's the best Lucier compilation out there. Can't wait for this box to be dropped at my doorstep.

wouldn't call that one a comp. new performances of older works are reboots. saw the sonic arts union show at issue project room a few months ago and lucier's new works for sinewaves were new territory; instead of keeping one or two slow moving sinewaves as foundational sounds to prompt the acoustical beating of the live instruments, there are quite a few sinewaves in motion, each with diverging / converging trajectories, so the latticework / beating coming from the electronics are already completely busy - not minimal at all, crazy sounding. like some kind of audio illusion bridge between radigue and amacher. it was amazing lucier was even there in person for the show - walking very slowly now, but on top of it, black lives matter t-shirt, surrounded by old friends

Ha, that's amazing, and heartening to hear. The guy's 87 and wearing a BLM shirt! Good for him.
Call it a comp, call it a reboot: I'm excited about it either way.

Lucier is compelling throughout. Majestically ignores the interviewer for much of the interview. (I hate this interviewer but he gets good results so maybe he is good?)
“How do I get in touch with John Cage?” “Have you tried calling him?”
AL: [Fascinating detailed explanation of upcoming piece]Interviewer cuts him off: [bored and unimpressed] “Okay. Something to look forward to.”

It is a cliche to name a "genius" who "changed" music, listening or recording for everyone who followed. Often it is a bullshit honorific. I am however sincere when I say Alvin Lucier, genius, invented new ways to hear, execute, record and think about music and sound. Requiescat.— steve albini (@electricalWSOP) December 1, 2021

Also in a recent documentary I discovered he used the same brand of crushed tomatoes to make marinara sauce as my family does.

Was so lucky to see him do Music for Solo Performer. Just a little old man sitting quietly while everything erupted around him.
