Contemporary in The Artist Shop?
ArtShop
The Artist Shop <http://www.artist-shop.com> is a new on line music
store dedicated to independent artists releasing music on their own
labels. The featured albums in the store come with cover graphics and
soundbites.
Admittedly much of what is in the store doesn't fall into the category
of contemporary classical; however, there are a few things I think
would be of definite interest to the readers of this newsgroup. First
there are two albums that I produced myself that you will find
following the link to 'Gary's Vanity Page.' Both were released on
Koch. The first is "A Chance Operation - The John Cage Tribute," a
double disc set featuring 22 artists paying homage to Cage with
original compositions and performances of his compositions. The
second is Cage's "Thirteen Harmonies" based on a work of his using the
'Apartment House 1776' pieces. This album is peformed by violinist
Roger Zahab who did the original arrangement for Cage.
Also in the Shop on the New Artist Page you'll find another of Zahab's
albums, "Stubborn Beauties," and also a fine electronics artist named
David Bagsby.
Anyway, I hope you'll stop by and check things out. Let me know what
you think.

Anyone from Belfast would think you did a roaring trade in copies of _The
Big Gundown_ ...
The Art Shop was (still is?) the Belfast publications outlet of Provisional
Sinn Fein: they acquired it under a lease that required them to continue
selling art stuff, so they had sporadic paintings and artists' materials
scattered among the pro-IRA t-shirts and stacks of the party paper _An
Phoblacht_ with its fortnightly stories about British injustice, bombings,
shootings, and welcome-backs to members released from jail. (I haven't been
there but used to order stuff from them when I worked for a radical bookshop
in the early 1980s; this description is from one of my co-workers).
They also had rolls of razor wire in the attic, just in case, and huge blocks
of concrete outside to stop the building being rammed by trucks. Given some
of the rhetoric from the more incensed traditionalists here, you might think
about emulating your namesakes over that one.
