The A side is entirely devoted to a reading of Cage's 26'1.1499" for a String Player. While the B side spices things up with compositions from Pauline Oliveros and Ben Johnston. Oliveros' piece Outline was written specifically for Turetzky and takes a step away from her usual electronic composition, as it showcases a rare instrumental piece of her. Other musicians on this recording include Nancy Turetzky - flutes, & Ronald George - percussion. While Johnston's Casta Bertram (Bertram becuase the composition calls for the piece to include the name of the performer to be included in the title) is a unique composition the relies heavily on the performer for the final outcome of the music. An interesting look into the world of solo contrabass.
Turetzky is seen as a leading figure for the contrabass. He has published articles on the instrument as well as performing many new compositions for the instrument, many of which being written specifically for him."
