The Contemporary Composer In The USA - Mario Davidovsky & Barbara Kolb

Solitaire For Piano, Vibraphone and Tape

Turnabout Vox TV-S 34487
1972

Most selections have enough structure to them for folks who don't like to stray into environmental or other more abstract sound. Side two of this album, by Barbara Kolb, blends natural instruments with "electronic" sounds to create a variety of dreamy soundscapes that are sometimes somber and other times glittering.
