about

Third of a three box collection by one of the most innovative guitarists and composers of his generation, containing eight ReR CDs, a bonus Fred title and a fat historic booklet with artwork, photographs, extensive notes and other comments by Fred, all packed into in a sturdy box - and at a budget price.

Biographical: Recipient of Italy’s Demetrio Stratos Prize for his life’s work in experimental music and Professor Emeritus at the legendary epicentre of American experimental music, Mills College in Oakland, California, Fred still teaches in the improvisation master’s program at the Musik Akademie in Basel and as visiting faculty in the Universidad Austral in Valdivia, Chile, where he has been collaborating on the creation of a new School of Music and Sound Art.
