It's A Monster Holiday
Capitol 1974

Apparently no CD was ever issued and vinyl is somewhat difficult to find. I picked this copy up at a thrift because of the horror cover. The cover smacks of low budget, private press. Capitol did spend some money on the back cover. The Monster's Holiday is a novelty tune after "The Purple People Eater". The lyrics aren't even country. It's pure kid's stuff. The rest of the LP goes back to standard country.

A Nonsuch Records commission composed specifically for the LP record by
Morton Subotnick

1967

From the back cover: Morton Subotnick was born in 1933 in Los Angeles, California. He earned his undergraduate degree in English literature from the University of Denver and his Master of Arts in composition from Mills College, where he studied with Leon Kirchner and Darius Milhaud. A professional clarinetist, he was a member of the Denver and San Francisco Symphonies and has given chamber music and solo performances.

While in California, Subotnick co-founded the Mills College Performing Group (a chamber ensemble), and the San Francisco Tape Center. Through the efforts of the composer, the Center was awarded a $200,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, and subsequently the Tape Music Center and the Mills Performing Group were combined. At this time Subotnick also held a post as Assistant Professor of Music at Mills College. He then became Musical Director of the Repertory Theater at Lincoln Center and since Fall, 1966, has been involved with the Intermedia Program at the School of Arts at New York University. The purpose of this program is to bring together artists who specialize in various media – film, theater, tape, etc.

Subotnick has been working with tape since 1960; his present involvement with mixed media employs the theatrical. The following are excerpts of a recent work, "Play!" – illustrative of the technique Subotnick has evolved.

The dimensions of Morton Subotnick's Play No. 4 embrace not only music, but also theater and cinema and game-playing and light-shows and assorted ritualistic phenomena suggestive of contemporary society and its institutions. The work combines all these factors into an essentially new total-arts form, and the experience it creates is similar to that of happenings, although it has more point and structure – even though it is based on chance and indeterminacy...

And beneath, underneath and through all these sights and sounds is the scream and whine and slurp and krontch of some of the most affecting electronic music I've ever heard. – The Seattle Times

A total concept in music that integrates theatrical media and destroys audience inertia... – Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Margaret Plays The Musical Saw

Green Leaves Of Summer

Margaret Plays The Musical Saw
Audiocraft Recording Co. Cincinnati, OH

Today's offering is a great local private press recording. Minty fresh vinyl and autographed!

The Musical Saw is the next best thing to the Theremin when it comes to "strange" music instruments. And it may be that Musical Saw recordings are rather more rare than Theremin.

There is a lot of information on the back cover. But one paragraph stands out. Margaret carries her saw in a gun case, which causes problems with security when she boards a plane for Burbank, California, to visit her daughter. Sometimes she must demonstrate that it really is a musical instrument.

That's why you do not see many traveling Saw players these days. They would all be pegged for terrorists, knocked to the ground and stripped search everywhere they went.
