Bleep

Martin Bartlett hasn’t been afforded the posthumous praise of his modern classical peers and influences, with remarkably little information on his work readily available — a travesty Arc Light Editions seeks to doctor with Anecdotal Electronics: Live Experiments and Other Recordings, the first major overview of the Canadian master’s pioneering works. Born in 1939 and taken too soon by AIDS-related causes in 1993, this compilation burns with the fire of Bartlett’s vivacity, bridging gaps between conceptual performance work and electronic composition.
