Detritus Hall: Cornelius Cardew

Cornelius Cardew - Treatise

Cornelius Cardew is really fun. He wrote a pamphlet/bookish thing called, Stockhausen Serves Imperialism. Treatise is really fun, too; it's so fun, that it shouldn't be described here. Instead I'll provide some links for you to explore.

This is page three of the graphic score.

Here is a link to an awesome site with a video analysis of Treatise. Here is a link to a free download of Treatise.

One thing I will say, is that this video is an excerpt, only. The score can last, well, hours.

Neat. (thanks to modefy2 for the youtubage and Zhao at differentwaters for the download)

About Detritus Hall

The companion site to The Detritus Review, Detritus Hall provides a more direct route to the music world we so often talk about—think of it as your virtual music hub, or hall, of the new and the undersung that rarely makes it into print, at least favorably. It provides a point of reference for those of you, like us, who don’t have unlimited access to the recorded world or those of us who can’t afford (or get paid) to attend every concert under the sun. Here, we supply the music mainly in video form, but we also supply download links and anything else we feel pertinent to a successful immersion into the world of musical modernism and beyond. As usual, we hope to incite meaningful dialog, because it’s our stance that the better we can listen to and talk about music, the richer our collective experience becomes. (Sorry critics, no snark, for the most part.)
