In Ash Fure's Feed Forward for large ensemble, sharp reports from the percussion at first punctuate and divide discrete sections of sonic material played by the rest of the ensemble. Over the course of the work, these divisions are gradually resisted, breached and finally overwhelmed by a spreading miasma of sound.
Scored for 11 players, Feed Forward was commissioned by the Impuls International Composition Festival for Klangforum Wien for premiere at the 2015 Impuls Festival. It exploits a broad range of extended performance techniques including quarter tones, multiphonics in the winds and contrabass, and more unusual effects, all explained in concise performance notes including links to further resources for the player.
This score (EP 68742) is available as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance materials are available for hire.

Bacchanale, John Cage's first work to exploit his influential prepared piano technique, arose from a request for musical accompaniment by dancer Syvilla Fort. Intending to write her a percussion piece, Cage discovered that the theater in which the premiere was to take place was too small to accommodate any instruments beyond the piano already present, and instead adapted the piano into a palette of percussive sounds by placing small foreign objects among the strings.
A new arrangement by guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan translates this six-minute work from the prepared piano to an even more novel instrumentation: a duo of prepared guitars, the sound of their vibrating strings transformed by the addition of alligator clips, washers, and slips of paper. This performing score (EP 6784a) includes detailed, illustrated instructions from the arranger on how to prepare the instruments.
The original version of Bacchanale is now available for sale in John Cage's Prepared Piano Music 1940-47, Vol. 1 (EP 67886a). Along with fellow guitarist Adam Levin, Aaron Larget-Caplan gave the world premiere of this arrangement in December 2018 at Arlington Street Church in Boston.

Text selected from the Requiem Mass, D.H. Lawrence, Percy Bysshe Shelley and the Old Testament
First performance 3rd December 2003 at St. Martin-in-the-Fields
Subsequent revisions have been small, mainly consisting of a brand new Benedictus (to replace one which, in the original performance, had beeen borrowed from a liturgical setting of the Mass), the expansion of the Dies Irae and the creation of a bigger orchestration, as an alternative to the chamber scoring, to make the most of the forces available at the second performance, in St. Petersburg.

Three Diversions for Soprano (or Tenor) Recorder and Piano by Alan Bullard
Three short 'journeys' that are tuneful and great fun to play. They make an ideal and exciting concert item. Bullard's writing is idiomatic and smooth, and the piano part is well within the grasp of competent amateur pianists.

Piano Music Arranged for Guitar features five early and mid-career compositions by John Cage, dating from 1933 through 1948, all arranged for solo guitar by Aaron Larget-Caplan. The compositions required little adjustment from the originals, mainly in the form of register modifications, and fit very well on the guitar. All phrase and dynamic markings follow the published originals. Very few left and right hand fingerings are included in the publication to allow the performers their own realizations. All of the works retain their original keys and are presented in chronological order:
Three Easy Pieces (Round, Duo, Infinite Cannon)
A Room
Chess Pieces
Dream
In A Landscape
Cage’s exploration of contrapuntal music and simple forms are found early on in works for two voices and the use of unusual phrases lengths. The later works explore modes, resonance, and begin to show influences of Far East aesthetics in their spaciousness and dealings with time.
The collection is only the second work in the Cage Oeuvre to be published featuring the guitar, the first being Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of ‘Six Melodies’ for violin & guitar issued in 2015.
A recording dedicated to John Cage on guitar will be released in 2018 on Stone Records Limited (UK).
