About this product
This autumn, Erased Tapes are set to 'Give It to the Sky Arthur Russell's Tower of Meaning Expanded' by composer and producer Peter Broderick and French 12-piece group Ensemble 0; a complete re-recording of Russell's epic minimalist orchestral composition originally released in 1983. Released 6th October, 'Give It to the Sky' also includes unreleased tracks by Russell which have been restored and re-recorded, resulting in an 80-minute reanimation that threads several lost songs into a meticulous and gorgeous rendering.Ensemble 0 weave in and out of Broderick's additions. 'Corky', a poignant cowboy ballad that Russell never finished, appears, disappears, and reappears three times, the droning exhalations of 'Tower of Meaning' making it feel sweeter and sadder. Arriving just after the triumphant halfway mark, the title track is a sublime meditation on mere existence, about staring at some simple rural scene and marcelling at the miracle of being anywhere at all. It is an apt encapsulation of how this entire project feels - a glorious way to hear something that might have seemed familiar as if for the very first time. Russell was never much for definitive versions, of course. He was constantly rethinking the possibilities of a piece, of wondering what else it could do. 'Give it to the Sky' is a powerful affirmation of those principles, using Tower of Meaning's framework to build outward and upward, to shape something that functions within Russell's wondrous, paradoxical world. And 'Give it to the Sky' is also not intended to be some definitive last word. Broderick and Ensemble 0 speak already of the ways it may shift on stage, of where else it might lead.1.

PARTNERS - Peter Broderick - For close to a decade, Portland's Peter Broderick has cut his own unpredictable path through the world of contemporary music. So far, his wanderings have led him from solo works into the realms of film, dance and documentary scores, as well as art installations. - Now Peter takes that unpredictability one step further. For his latest album, a series of voice and piano recordings, he experiments with chance, surrendering an entire song's composition to the roll of dice. - As he explains below in an email to Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths, it was John Cage's tendency to remove himself from his music, to somehow automate his own process, which inspired the strange mechanics with which this record was created. Album Tracks 1. Partners 2. In a Landscape 3. Carried 4. Under the Bridge 5. Conspiraling 6. Up Niek Mountain 7. Sometimes
