The Hudson River Compositions were generated in 1973-74 when I was living in Germantown, NY overlooking the river. Summer evenings were often spent on the back porch watching the myriad fireflies with the expectation that at any second, they would spell out words, cohere into pictures or even form music notation. Walking along the Hudson, I could find secluded places to practice soprano sax and derive inspiration from watching the flow. Sunrise on the river (witnessed from either end of the day) might reveal thousands of birds taking off simultaneously, the air so thick that foreground and background were reversed, a living Escher drawing, the sound symphonic and granulated. Appropriate found images were later superimposed on music manuscript. These graphics combined with a number of conceptual instruction sets comprised the score. This new recording is a collage of overdub sessions, some with synchronized listening, some autonomous, an attempt to manifest the sound I was hearing in my Inner Ear at the time of the conception of these compositions.
