	The Time Is Now Words by Melody Sumner Carnahan with music and voices by various composers. Carnahan works extensively with composers and musicians, and when 'The Time is Now' was first published by Burning Books, Carnahan gave the book to her friends, asking them to set the words to music using any story they liked. This CD is a compilation of those works, composed between 1983 and 1996. The composers are Joan La Barbara, Susan Stone, Laetitia Sonami, Robert Ashley, Maggi Payne, Brian Reinbolt, Barbara Golden, Marghreta Cordero, Elodie Lauten, Larry Polansky and John Bischoff, Nessie Lessons, Steven Clark, Jim Hrabetin and Marc Weinstein, and Nick Didkovsky. This CD is a stunning concept. And a great collection of talent. Frog Peak  =>  FP105-2  $19.00
	Change A wonderful collection of instrumental and electronic works by Larry Polansky, several of them composed with a computer using formal, mathematical, and software morphing techniques. The composer refers to these works as his 'morphing pieces' and they all explore musical change in diverse and strange ways. The various compositions include music for Western and Indonesian instruments, voices and computer, solo piano, electric guitar and rock band. What they have in common is a mysterious, rare beauty. The CD contains 'Bedhaya Gutherie / Behaya Sadra' (for clarinet, Javanese gender, and kemanak); 'Choir' (for voice and computer); 'Three Anna Studies' (computer pieces based on the voice of Anna Diamond Polansky); 'The Casten Variation' (a computer written 'analysis / resynthesis' of Ruth Crawford Seeger's Piano Study in Mixed Accents); '51 Melodies' (for two electric guitars and rock band); and 'Piano Study # 5' (for Fender Rhodes in just intonation). The performers are Daniel Goode (clarinett, kemanak), Larry Polansky (Javanese pelog gender, kemanak, electric guitar, retuned Fender Rhodes electric piano), Marie Pauline-Esguerra (voice), Sarah Cahill (piano), Anna Diamond Polansky and Eleanor Wilson (voice), Nick Didkovsky (electric guitar), Greg Anderson (electric bass), and Leo Ciesa (drums). Artifact Recordings  =>  AR122  $16.00
	Simple Harmonic Motion Larry Polansky explores just intonation with and without jazz classics. In 'Another You' (based on 'There'll Never Be Another You'), the tuning of a harp creates a rare, sparse, and beautiful texture. In 'Movement for Andrea Smith' (based on 'My Funny Valentine'), a string quartet of violins and violas plays the tune, but you'd never know it without knowing it. 'Movement for Lou Harrison' is about beautiful, still textures for double-basses. And 'Horn' (1990), for horn and computer, is a rhapsodic and lovely fantasy on the harmonic series. Artifact Recordings  =>  AR110  $16.00
	Four-Voice Canons Fifteen delightful musical canons, composed over a 25-year period by Larry Polansky. The compositions utilize simple forms, from which Polansky creates a musical universe. In these mensuration canons, four or more voices each successively enter, each moving proportionally faster than the previous voice. The results are a high level of density and complexity. Each canon is unique in style and mood, ranging from simple and quiet to boisterous and dramatic. The compositions include '#4' (1979), '#7' (1990), '#17, Guitar Canon' (2002), '#9 b, Anna Canon' (1994), '#14, Kid Canon' (2002), '#16, Canon in One Octave for Arthur Farwell' (2002) ... Performances by Jody Diamond (gamelan, Javanese Rebab), William Winant (marimba, percussion), Larry Polansky (fretless electric guitar, computer with HMSL, SoundHack, Csound), Anna Diamond Polansky (age three, voice), York Vocal Index, Chris Mann (voice), Daniel Goode (tape of midtown Manhattan restaurant), Anthony Braxton (bariton saxophone), Mills college Frog Pond frogs, Ray Guilette (computer), Nick Didkovsky (computer), Nathan Davis (percussion), Ha-Yang Kim (cello), and a group of children (voice). Cold Blue Music  =>  CB210  $18.00

Also: Gareth Loy's 'Blood From A Stone' (1992), for Max Mathews' electronic violin; Chris Chafe's and Dexter Morrill's 'Duo Improvisation' (1991), with celletto (Chafe's electronic cello), trumpet, and computer; Neil Rolnick's 'The Persistence of the Clave' (1992); Rodney Waschka II's 'Last Night' (1990), for alto sax and piano; Jon Appleton's 'Homenaje a MilanTs' (1987), for Synclavier; and Larry Polansky's '(And to rule...)(Cantillation Study #2)' (1988), for flute and computer.

	Works For Violin Henry Cowell, in the introduction to the first edition of his prophetic ¦symposium¦ titled American Composers on American Music (1933), described features of contemporary American music and outlined categories of composers. The first group he introduced ï ¦Americans who have developed indigenous materials or are specially interested in expressing some phase of the American spirit in their works¦ ï might be taken as a historical framework for the composers represented on this recording. Compositions are Cowell's 'Sonata for Violin and Piano' (1945), Stefan Wolpe's 'Second Piece for Violin Alone' (1966), George Antheil's 'Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano' (1923), Johanna Beyer's 'Suite for Violin and Piano' (1957), Charles Dodge's 'Etudes for Violin and Tape' (1994), David Mahler's 'Maxfield's Reel' (1954), Larry Polansky's 'Movement in E major for John Cage' (1975) and Ruth Crawford's 'Nocturne' (1925).

	Frog Peak Anthology Edited by Carter Scholz and Larry Wendt, this is not only a fascinating document of the early 1990s, it's a wonderful collection of scores, poems, essays, texts, graphics, and all manner of other printed creative work by a formidable group of performance artists, performers, and composers, among them Larry Polansky, Lou Harrison, Burt Porter, Jarrad Powell, Jody Diamond, Phil Burk, Anthony J. Gnazzo, Alison Knowles, Philip Corner, Jan Pusina, Daniel Goode, Nick Didkovsky, Peter Garland, Richard Povall, David Rosenboom, Malcolm Goldstein, Chris Mann, Jack Body, Carter Scholz, Ron Nagorcka, Rainer Linz, and Larry Wendt. 164 pages.

	Lonesome Road: The Crawford Variations Larry Polansky's monumental and complex work for solo piano. He began with a harmonization of 'Lonesome Road', Ruth Crawford Seeger's setting of a Carl Sandburg poem. Written in three sections, the work includes 51 enormously diverse variations. We travel through widely ranging harmonic transpositions, waltzes, perpetual motion segments, Ivesian prose poems bordering on the edges of tonality, Romantic textures, wildly virtuosic pianistic feats, multiple chorales, phantasmagorical abstractions ... And pianist Martin Christ offers a fine performance of this magnificent work. New World  =>  NW287  $17.00
