Vision-Ease Too

Label: Chadula Country: USA

Three compositional works from Eugene Chadbourne written in the 70's. The name of "Vision Ease" series was named after a "cheesy Japanese composition book", and chronicles musical compositions that range from through-composed pieces ("East Was Texas Was Evil Was What Was") to the partially composed ("The English Channel"). The recording of "Courage!", which was written for a guitar trio with John Zorn, is from a 1978 performance with Zorn playing reeds and game calls. "The English Channel" recording is from a 2007 performance at The Stone in New York City, while "East Was Texas..." is a 1976 recording from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
