The Well & The Gentle, two of the major works of Pauline Oliveros, are presented here in a first time reissue on double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes.

If Oliveros had followed a more conventional composer's path she may have, all social obstacles aside, been considered among the major minimalist and contemporary classical composers of her time. However, Oliveros approached composition in a more egalitarian manner. She wrote music for musicians to interact with or, in the composers words, she wished to create "an inclusive and interdependent and unfolding world of relationships."

Oliveros' propensity towards inclusion is part of what makes this work so remarkably distinctive. The Well & The Gentle is carefully crafted, allowing performers to participate in the creation of the work. Players are asked to collaborate, focus, react and make imaginative choices. Only then can the performers "pass through stages of awakening to the possibilities inherent in making music, working together, leading to the essence of what can shape musical impulses and individual freedom simultaneously."

Unlike most major composers of the era, Oliveros' work focuses on collaboration and improvisation. Lacking in the rigidity that often defines minimalist work of the era. For Oliveros, the processes involved in making music are as fundamental as the music itself. Oliveros creates, as Arthur Sabatini put it so eloquently in the liner notes,

"A world in which sound and the practices entailed in making music merge; become, at once, source and atmosphere, energy and essence, presence and dynamic."

An album recorded at Les Lilas - near Paris - with synths, guitars, tape loops, and some other materials.

A quote heard during the French revolt against pension reform:
"There are three kinds of violence. The first, mother of all the others, is institutional violence. It legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression, and exploitation. It crushes and eliminates millions of people in its silent and well-oiled cogs.

The second is revolutionary violence, which is born of the will to abolish the first.

The third is repressive violence, which stifles the second by making itself the helper and accomplice of the first violence - the one that causes all the others.

There is no worse hypocrisy than only calling the second 'violence' while pretending to forget the first one that gives it life and the third that kills it."
(Helder Camara, Spiral of Violence)

"The Pitch is a quartet made up of Boris Baltschun, Koen Nutters, Michael Thieke and Morten Joh. Founded in Berlin in 2009, they play a hypnotic form of structured improvisation full of acoustic exploration and electronic intervention. On Neutral Star, The Pitch are joined by Australian guitarist/composer extraordinaire Julia Reidy for a record of star gazing electro-acoustic jazz."

Raster is thrilled to announce the release of »Works for Last Work«, an exceptional sonic and visual testament of lichtenberger's work on Batsheva Dance Company's critically acclaimed piece »Last Work«, choreographed by Ohad Naharin. In addition to the originally composed music featured in the piece, the album offers an exclusive collection of sketches and tracks made during this collaborative period. This new release is available digitally and as a limited edition of a collection of silkscreen prints.

Lichtenberger's »Works for Last Work« takes the listener on a journey through the soundscape of Naharin's masterpiece, a piece that delves deep into themes of death, rebirth, and regeneration. The album features a blend of ambient, experimental, and electronic music, creating a concentrated and intimate sonic universe that perfectly encapsulates the mood and energy of the dance.

The digital version of »Works for Last Work« is available for purchase on the raster website, Bandcamp and streaming platforms. For collectors and audiophiles, the release also features a limited edition print version, which includes eight hand-made, three-colored silkscreen prints by Lichtenberger, abstractly portraying enigmatic scenes of the dance piece. 

»Works for Last Work« is an exceptional addition to Grischa Lichtenberger's already impressive body of work. It serves as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and highlights the unique relationship between music and dance.
