All three works are for organ and tape and were written at the request of Verkade, the Kenneth Gaburo piece as a commission and the other two in memory of Gaburo.
While the Gaburo piece draws heavily on the organ for sound material it is not surprising, given Gaburo's life-long involvement with the human voice, to find that the other two pieces utilize the voice of Gaburo himself as material for their composition.
Kenneth Gaburo's Antiphony X (Winded) is the tour de force of this recording.

 Kenneth Gaburo - Winded
Kenneth Gaburo (1926 –; 1993) was an important spirit in modern American music, even though he wasn’t as well known as he deserved, outside of the art music community.
Gaburo was a teacher, pioneer of electronic music, jazz pianist, writer, ecologist, publisher and proponent of compositional linguistics.
Gaburo had an extensive formal musical education, but he went his own way, and as early as 1955 he began mixing concrete sounds on tape with live performers, which he kept up all his life.

 The Flow of (u) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Flow of (u) is a piece for three soprano voices by Kenneth Gaburo written in 1974.
He also contends that unlike other minimalist works, in which, compared to serial music, "a certain level of articulational subtlety is eschewed in favor of an overall psycho-acoustic effect," however, in Gaburo's piece, "the focus is even more intense, and the attention to dynamic shaping given to the lines...is here transferred to the micro-level."

Gaburo's Antiphony X (Winded) is a work in which the composer wanted to get out of the organ everything that was left after many centuries of organ composition and context-loading.
It is fitting that two of them responded with pieces which incorporate Gaburo's own voice, for he was very much concerned with the voice as expressive instrument: Warren Burt takes a spoken text of Gaburo's to generate both a tape and an organ score, both of which follow the spoken contours of Kenneth's voice.
On a par with this end-of-life drama, the organ-organist entity is disembodied: the organist plays from a writing desk, separated from the organ keyboards by a good distance, but connected to the keys and stops by strings which are alternately pulled to change what is sounding from the instrument.

BURT: Gaburo was so prolific in such a wide variety of fields that a full assessment of his work is still difficult at this point several years after his death.
On January 26, 1993, Kenneth Gaburo died of cancer at the age of 66.
BURT: The journey of Kenneth Gaburo's life shows a rather remarkable intellectual and spiritual evolution from one quite specific mid-century concept of the avant-garde to a quite opposing late-century one.

The late Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) was a mainstay of the electronic and electro-acoustic music scene of the 60s and 70s.
On this CD are collected 10 of his works for "electronic tape" (a retro term—if not technology—for sure), half from the 60s, but also extending into the early 90s.
This is a text/vocal piece (two of Gaburo's major concerns), with Gaburo speaking the nursery rhyme "This old man, he played..." over the top of a plainchant drone.

Foremost among his many interests was a concern with the voice and with language -- how we shape language and how we are shaped by it -- and with making works that existed somewhere between the boundaries of music and language.
Of the works on this CD, three are intensely concerned with what Gaburo termed 'Compositional Linguistics' (Antiphony III, Antiphony IV, and Mouth-Piece), while concerns with balance and perceptual edges seem to be his foremost concern in the other two [String Quartet in One Movement and The Flow of (u)].
In Antiphony IV (1967), for three instruments and two-channel tape, the two channels are literally separate-vocal sounds (each phoneme, in order, of the source poem) on the left channel, and electronic sounds on the right channel, with the instruments in the middle.

Also on the CD are two other pieces, both made by students of Gaburo, yours truly, and Philip Blackburn, and both of which are, in their own different ways, as uncompromising as Gaburo's piece.
Both of these pieces also deal with the sound of Gaburo's voice, in homage to his concern with the voice as the primal expressive mark of individual being.

 Kenneth Gaburo - Tape Play   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Kenneth Gaburo was an important person in American modern and avant-garde music, but not at all as known as for example Harry Partch or Conlon Nancarrow.
Kenneth Gaburo took his tape music very seriously, which is demonstrated by the fact that he got involved in several methods of tapping resources from his subconscious while composing, like staring at the machinery for hours on end, and then, totally exhausted, bearing down on the equipment, and prerecorded tapes that he rearranged and manipulated.
Gaburo has long slow brushes of events taking place in the background, while letting short-wave-type blurts ransack the foreground, and at times you hear some dance orchestra somewhere deep inside a hall somewhere, as if in a dream, but the electronics – and the birds, the birds!

Gaburo's goal in 'Antiphony X (Winded)' was, in Verkade's words, "to get out of the organ everything that was left after many centuries of organ culture.

 Ink 19 :: Gary Verkade
This release features organist Gary Verkade performing a composition by the late Kenneth Gaburo, as well as some compositions in tribute to Gaburo by Warren Burt and Philip Blackburn.
Because of the difficult nature of these compositions, this collection will probably be of interest mostly to students of modern composition who can understand the theory and process behind these works and those people out there who can appreciate this type of music on a purely visceral level.
The next piece, which was one of Gaburo's later compositions, is more immediately interesting, especially to those who have an appreciation for musical violence.

Pioneering composer Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) spent years living in the Anza-Borrego Desert of California and wrote Antiphony IX (...A Dot...), a work for orchestra, children and tape, that reflects the ecosystem he found there.
Like Mozart trying to get at the syntax of his pet starling's mimicry, Gaburo studied how ecosystems operate and how one can participate in the timeframe of that space.
As inventor of compositional linguistics (the use of language as music and music as language) Gaburo wrote a text, LA, for solo reader, a multi-layered word-piece structured in the manner of a musical composition.
