Schrader, Barry – “Monkey King ” – [Innova/American Composers]

Schrader has been on the music faculty at CalArts (Valencia, CA) since 1971. While a grad student at the University of Pittsburgh in 1969, he was exposed to a Buchla 100 system that began his concentration on electro-acoustic composition.

Liner notes give substantial background on Wu Xing and Monkey King stories.

Quiet, but never boring. Very accessible, large-scale and gorgeous!
