Today the mail run rendered up a stunning set of six beautiful CD’s each one the product of of Ralph Lichtensteiger’s genius. Yes, I use that term openly when I speak of this gentleman. If you haven’t heard of him I suggest that you go to www.lichtensteiger.de to witness the range of his thought, and his incredible generosity as a teacher. He is constantly offering up new downloads of avant-garde music, new takes on philiosophers, new insights into, and applications of, the thought and praxis of John Cage, with whom he met and conversed. And now these CD’s have arrived with their promise of a voyage. The story of Jason, and the Argonauts, of course tells of the quest for the Golden Fleece–a journey that has long been regarded in the West as an alchemical allegory. Here are the titles of the CD’s:

1 klangschiff
2 klangsschiff
3 the remains
4 specters
5 les heterotopies
6 departure

I am delighted to have a voice piece embedded in CD #6. So I myself have a seat among Jason’s crew!

I haven’t yet had a chance to take this aural voyage, but once I’ve embarked, I shall report back!

The CD set is in a limited edition of 50. Price is 25 euros. For more information, please contact Mr. Lichtensteiger via his website here.
