Double LP reprint of the compact disc by Robert Ashley titled String Quartet Describing the Motions of Large Real Bodies, How can I Tell the Difference? (I & II). 'String Quartet' was composed as the potential orchestra for an opera based on the text of 'In Sara, Mencken, Christ and Beethoven There Were Men and Women'. In Version One of How Can I Tell the Difference? the composer tried to create the drama of the recording of the reverberation and the motorcyclist, using the String Quartet as an 'orchestra', in the way intended to be used in the opera. In Version Two of How Can I Tell the Difference? a solo string player using the same playing technique as in the String Quartet opens and closes the sound 'gates' to electronic reverberations and prerecorded sounds running continuously with the performance.

Self-made double-bodied string instrument, handmade pocket harp, pedal effects, wordless vocalizations, modified analog drum machine, mini-keyboard, alientronics. But even here nothing is straightforward; everything is invented, shrunken, self-built, inchoate: alien-ated. The session was recorded – instantly composed – in MCIAA’s Alien Zone, situated in the Western Alps, and it sounds it. The central fact of MCIAA’s music has always been space but they have never sounded quite so far away, so removed. The music is extremely sensual
