Studio recordings from 1989-90, 'commissioned by Mamou Mines, the New York based experimental theater collective, for their production of Lear by William Shakespeare.' In use herein is a fairly complex series of pitch-modulated foot-controlled digital delay units which render Oliveros' solo accordion playing into a full accordion ensemble. This all results in SERIOUSLY dense overtone/ghost chord action, complete with microtones and countermelodies emulating something like a grand-pipe-organ jam session. Heavy. By far the most ear-triggering of all Oliveros's explorations with said instrument.
