Thank You Thomas.
I am already familiar with the Duchamp articles at
the "Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal"
The Sub Rosa CD you mentioned is actually titled
"The Creative Act" is it not? I have a copy of
it. There are other recordings on the Sub Rosa
label concerning Duchamp's Music:
SR 183 CD
Erratum Musical:7 Variations on a Draw of 88 Notes
Performed by Stephane Ginsburgh, piano
SUBCD 012-19
Futurism + Dada Reviewed
I am setting up a website dedicated to the music
of Marcel Duchamp (still under construction--of
course--see link below), and I am just attempting
compile web resources--I've already included links
to the "Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal" and
its music related articles.
I have been trying to find some of the recordings
of Duchamp's music for some time now for a few
reasons:
1) to verify that they exist
2) to obtain a copy so that I may provide some
type of "review" of the performance/recording
3) to chart and document the "musical" activities
of this very important artist
Other recordings that other may find interesting:
*"Ives, Duchamp, Cage" Caprice, No. CAP 1226, 1982
*"The Entire Musical Work of Marcel Duchamp"
Multhipla Records, Milano, No.1, 1976 ITA
I've already mentioned two Sub Rosa recordings
above, and you have mentioned the other SR "The
Creative Act".
The Leonardo Music Journal has released on their
CD complilation two excerpts from "Reunion", as
well as an article by Lowell Cross.

Thanks again Thomas,
The "Artsounds Collection" and "Passions in Paint"
recordings sound very interesting...I guess I will have to
definately set up a page for music inspired by
Duchamp!
