Excerpt from

“6 VIII 64

day of gammadion

The Well-Tuned Piano”

(1964 - present)

 

Performed by La Monte Young : Just Intonation Piano

 

Part 1 from an unknown cassette version,

which was longer, but of much lower quality.

Parts 2 though 6

Taken from the RIP Unauthorized Bootleg Edition (2 LP - 1992)

from a 1973 German radio broadcast.

A short section of Part 4 was missing from the RIP bootleg

and has been restored from the unknown cassette version.

A lower quality excerpt from Part 2

also appeared on the 4-CD “Purple Set”.

 

The name is presumed to come from Angus MacLise’s calendar poem “Year”.

 

This recording includes an anonymous German spoken introduction.

The RIP performance section was broken into 5 shorter sections for some unknown reason,

which has been maintained here.

The time lengths of each of the sections are as follows :

 

Introduction (1:57)

Part 1 (10:10)

Part 2 (12:53)

Part 3 (3:52)

Part 4 (13:01)

Part 5 (2:45)
