One of the first multimedia events of it's kind, this performance includes tracks that were constructed for playback on a 38 speaker system by several different musicians\/engineers. According to the Center of Visual Music, the performance created a \"type of immersion environment [that] had never been created before\". Artists include Henry Jacobs, Gordon Longfellow, David L. Talcott, and William Loughborough. This electronic music is primarily in the style of Musique Concrete - a genre that features a wide array of sounds recorded to tape and then arranged in a specific order - but more traditional instruments are heard on this recording as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Trilogy \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Chan \u003cbr\u003e1.3 For the Big Horn \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Logos \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Rhythm Study No. 8 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Notes on the History of a World Pt.3 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Loop No.3 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Electronic Kabuki Mambo \u003cbr\u003e1.9 350-2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432413311047,"sku":"16944749","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1504797.jpg?v=1747362240","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-highlights-of-vortex-various-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
