'The struggles with sound are an ancient and con- stant endeavor. Our scientists have long been work- ing on ways to collide science with energy, to spill tone into the great expanse between each human's audible receptors. The activity of translating text and image into cognitive hearing will continue to boggle even our most learned artisans. Many are aware of the advances, but few respect the struggle. Early collaborations between Ludwig Van Beethoven and Albert Ayler, in the first part of this century, have shown that emotion and intellect are not separate entities. Their early studies in Missoula, Montana, later taken up by Jimmy Giuffre and Henry Cowell, have shown that a searing curiosity matched with sophisticated equipment will produce product of extraordinary dialogue. There is a definite space of germination in the sonic experi- ments of Quincy Porter's work with Celtic Frost. There sonic experiments undertaken at the research firms of CRI and ESP records, under the close scrutiny of Ruth Crawford-Seegar, have care- fully allows Sam "Lightnin' Hopkins to firmly estab- lish himself with the Tristano school of Shostakovich musicality. Mr. Hopkins' establishment with this school has led to an unprecedented discouse on the functions of sound, and its effects on the differ- ent moving centers of the body. In G.I. Gurdjieff's writing on Sonny "Sun Ra" Blount, we find that emotional discourse propagated with mathematical precision will clarify the direct relation between what is perceived and what really is. This arduous path leads us to the sound research center at Castle Broadway. Castle Broadway has long been extending the func- tions of sound and the codes that are used to manipulate them. In order to codify the sincerity of these audible vibrations, intense struggle and emo- tion have been carefully distilled into this product. The technicians at Castle Broadway are busily cre- ating the tonal building blocks and chromatic con- struction tools to carry the march against silence and sleep onto the next millennium. You will find that their struggle is not unique, but one in which we all share its rewards. Richard Gerstl, Austria 1911 Recorded at various Castle Broadway locations in and around Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.'
