Label: fony

Bandcamp release notes: "This album features four main tracks: the Rascali plunderphonic 'Fee Fie Foe Fum'; the orchestral compositions 'I’d Love to Turn...'; the big band 'reFUSE'; and a brand new solo piano composition 'Tip', commissioned by Marc André Hamelin. All the compositions are of the Rascali Klepitoire genre; i.e., as with plunderphonics, they are based on familiar pre-existing music; but they are additionally playable by living musicians (bonus items include performance recordings, videos, and an annotated full score for each piece). The main tracks are plunderphonic/rascali-klepitoire hybrids, featuring live-performance recorded elements in combination with studio-based additions and plunderphonic transformations. More detailed notes and an individual image for each track can be accessed by clicking to open that track. All the pieces are primarily focused on the music that a teenage John Oswald was discovering in the mid 1960s. The album's 'front cover' image, a transformation of the most iconic sleeve photo of that decade, has been revealed in stages over the days leading up to the final release.

This album is dedicated to Phil Strong, who has been an indispensable, creative and inspiring part of so many of my favourite projects over the past 30 years — John Oswald"
