Lukas Foss / Jan Williams - Elytres / Paradigm / Ni Bruit Ni Vitesse / Dream Lesson LP. This album was released in 1972 and remained sealed until about 10 minutes ago. I picked this up on a whim 3 or 4 years ago for no more than $5 while ordering another, less obscure bit of avant garde type contemporary classical from an online seller. Since I had no idea how dense or obtuse it was going to be, I never played it while my wife and I were listening to records. But she had to go into the office today and I'm putting away records now and I hate filing sealed records if I have never even heard it (sometimes I'll buy a reissue of something I know and file it sealed until I am ready to listen to it) Am only on the first side, and haven't read the liner notes yet (which, yanno, is a big part of listening to classical vinyl) but it sounds to me like Foss may have casually listened to a bit of early Zappa (that's a joke, just to be clear). Thus far, I am happy with my chance purchase. #LP #Vinyl #Records #LukasFoss #JanWilliams #ContemporaryClassical #ChamberMusic #AvantGarde #Turnabout #Vox #Zappa https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1G81BOEbK/?utm_medium=tumblr

They’ve been vital! As an artist, the opportunity to immerse yourself in an unfamiliar environment with support from a host organization is extremely inspiring and liberating. Each residency we’ve undertaken, from Belgium to Scotland to Lithuania, has resulted in the creation of new work, taught us new things and introduced us to new people and places. We have stayed in contact with people we met during every residency and they have all led to further work and opportunities.
