...who after contacting very generously opted to put a text on his Scratch Orchestra memories onto our #wiki. We were the first place where this information was published, so it provided us us both links and street-cred. Thx!

#NowPlaying

Just now hearing this astounding 2021 tribute album to #CorneliusCardew by #Officer!, a motley band of ageing politically-radical boomers from various early 80s DIY/cassette tape scenes. Gonna call this "Cadre Organisation Music" and that's a big, big compliment.

#CorneliusCardew died #onThisDay in 1981.

Apparently there is no photo of this #composer/#improviser that is openly licensed (e.g. #creativecommons). And we know only of one re-usable image of #ScratchOrchestra (from Stefan Szczelkun, who is a member of SO from near the beginning of it).

In the Sources section of the #book hub, there's one thing we're especially proud of: having #NatureStudyNotes fully digitized.

It is #CorneliusCardew's and #ScratchOrchestra's "no rights reserved" collection of #ImprovisationRites.

It was available since earlier as a scan with handwriting, and now thanks to the wiki and quite a few other good people it can be copy-pasted or read through screen readers.
