David Mahler - Hearing Voices (2001)

One of the unsung heroes from the early days of minimalism, David Mahler has been making music since the early 1970s. A master of the tape recorder and the razor blade, his pieces are legendary and (as is often the case with experimental composers,) underappreciated. David Mahler has champions in colleagues such as Larry Polansky, Peter Garland and Guy Klucevsek and thankfully his music is becoming more and more known. It is an honor for Tzadik to release this latest piece of the David Mahler puzzle: four new text-based tape pieces by one of the undisputed masters of the medium.
