about

From January 21 through February 18, 2023, Portland, Oregon's Extradition Ensemble staged EXTRADITION PLAYS CORNER: five concerts over five consecutive Saturdays devoted to the music of experimental great Philip Corner. This album includes all 22 live recordings from those concerts plus an additional 39 Corner compositions realized by Extradition musicians, friends, and peer ensembles around the world. An accompanying 50-page booklet gives liner notes, photos, and additional material about Corner and his work.

“He could destroy people with his mind but chooses not to.” — Stanley Brakhage on Philip Corner

“There were other people who wanted to enter the group and enjoy the exchange of ideas and so forth, but Morty [Feldman] refused to let that happen. He insisted on it being a closed group. It was through my acceptance of Earle Brown that Morty then left. . . . [He] was literally furious that anyone else was allowed into the group. Another one who might have been in it, but wasn’t, was Philip Corner.” — John Cage, interviewed by William Duckworth

“I gave myself the task to test this: What are the limits of what is ‘interesting.’ And I found this, once and for all proved: There are none.” — Philip Corner, from Lifework: A Unity (Frog Peak Music, 1993)

“His work is always rooted to a statement of intent that is so encompassing and inclusive that there is no doubt in the performer’s mind at all about what (and why) he is doing when he does something (or nothing).” — Dick Higgins, from the publisher’s foreword to The Four Suits (Something Else Press, 1965)

“I am essentially a traditionalist. But I never could find my real tradition. So I make it myself. And it turns out to contain all that is best in the history of humanity.” — Philip Corner

“The underlying principle in performing my music is: go as far as you can. People never push it to an extreme, never far enough in the direction I like. Go all the way. Do whatever is implied. Don’t make anything stupid or silly, but stretch the envelope.” — Philip Corner (September 2022)

“As things go wrong, right them—what wrong! A work to be rehearsed the morning before performance . . . that can be done. A new composition written (or a lecture) . . . do that too. If there is no piano, do better without it. If the concert hall had burned we would have played in the park.” — Philip Corner, from “Lecture from Sunday Performance” (1962)

Joy Boy
by Julius Eastman

supported by 12 fans who also own “Extradition Plays Philip Corner”

“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach Enough said. pt

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall

My humanities professor showed me this piece and i cannot stop coming back to it. Something deep and alluring of this piece keeps me wanting more. Absolutely one of my favorite cuts from last year. Ra!
