ROWE, KEITH / JULIEN OTTAVI / WILL GUTHRIE / MANU LEDUC - November Quebec
"The radio. Its possibilities and extensions. This is what (N:Q) explores: the use of the radio and its meanings. An electroacoustic ensemble, perpetually in movement, forging a soundworld of its own. Like airwaves transformed into music transformed into airwaves. The second number on the Variant Series presents the Radiophonic Quartet of Keith Rowe, Julien Ottavi, Will Guthrie and Manu Leduc in a truly unique release. Active since 2000, this is only the second release of the group - the follow up to the highly acclaimed self-titled on Fibrr. November Quebec comprises two tracks: a solo track by Keith Rowe, recorded live while being broadcasted; and that same piece as viewed by the Quartet. This edition comes in a blue deluxe gatefold cardboard sleeve with silkscreened original art by Keith Rowe. Limited to 250 copies." - Esquilo.
