Title Description:
Holy1 and Holy2 (both composed in 1967) were edited in 1999 by Charlemagne Palestine and interconnected through a long cross-fade; the wonderful 30 minutes resulting from the editing are to be heard on the 'Alloy' CD. At the same time it was also decided to produce a double-LP featuring the uncut, original Holy1 and Holy2 in their full duration beauty. The complete 42 minutes of Holy1 were printed on side A and side B. The shorter Holy2 was printed on side C. As the composer underlines these 2 compositions may also be played simultaneously, creating a new original work, as it happened in the late 1960s when he used them as a texture for an experimental dance piece. This double-LP was designed to give the chance to recreate the environment resulting from the simultaneous playback of Holy1 and Holy2. A sound installation to be privately performed at home by playing the records in the same moment on two turntable systems (side A+C or B+C). The very subtle variations of the two compositions generate a continuously changing and never ending sound environment. Side D features the music of Holy1 + 2 created in 1968 for Gus Solomon, a choreographer at New York University and student of Merce Cunningham. Edition of 380 numbered copies.
