With the reformARTorchestra on LP

The music recorded during 2 days of sessions at Porgy & Bess in Vienna on May 26 and 27, 2016 — over three dozen 4 minute pieces featuring small groups culled from the 21 member reformARTorchestra —was originally intended to be published as a 2 CD set accompanying a follow-up book to “Wiener U-Bahn-Kunst”. Evidently, for undisclosed reasons, the bureaucrats behind the project didn’t follow through. Producer (and participant) Johannes Groysbeck went through the recordings and constructed a continuous collage of pieces and extracts for each side of the IMPROCOMPOSER OPERA LP. This limited edition (100 copies) album is, thus far, the only published documentation of these intense, satisfying collaborations overseen by Fritz Novotny.
