"Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden" (1975/Catalyst 09026-61823-2 1993) is an album "performed, synthesized, recorded, and mixed by Alvin Curran." Liner notes by Tim Page and Alvin Curran.
*"This lush musical landscape, Alvin Curran's first multi-media solo work, intertwines singing and synthesizer, drones and overtones, bells, gamelans, and sounds of nature--a unique tapestry of sound that eloquently introduces a fanciful and original American composer." From the album back.Curran says that he was encouraged by then recent solo works by Terry Riley, Lamonte Young, Charlemagne Palestine, and Simone Forti.
