The difficult to classify musical practice of Don Brown & Dan Reynolds is presented here in this unauthorized 2008 live recording of an 8 piece ensemble realizing 4 different compositions at a Grange Hall in Gresham, Oregon. An outstanding group of musicians/others, who were very active in the Portland region during the time and receptive to the ideas of Brown and Reynolds, assembled to record these 4 works which were composed decades apart. An essential piece of the Brown/Reynolds/Old/Holy music puzzle that Sacred Realism is thrilled to bring to a larger audience, the music on this recording has many references and no peers. This special edition of 100 cassettes features images of Tim Bradley's Spatialization Cues and letters by Don Brown, Dan Reynolds, and Tim Bradley. Each case has a unique swathe of paint on the inner front case cover and the cassettes are covered with Spatialization Cue images (scroll below for detailed photos):
