Pythagorean Clavinet Phaze – Don Cardoza (1976)

This is a half hour long piece of entrancing music for the clavinet, that appears, at least to the untrained ear to have been influenced by Indian ragas. The clavinet is an electronically amplified clavichord and produces a sound quite similar to an electric guitar, despite it being a keyboard instrument. Don Cardoza has studied piano with Carlo Busotii and Michaiko Kolbiaka, among others, and he studied composition with Wayne Peterson, Fred Fox, and Ton De Leeuw at the Amsterdam Conservatory and then with Terry Riley at Mills College. He has also studied with Pandit Pran Nath from 1974 to 1990, and it may be the influence of the North Indian master vocalist that can be discerned in this delightful work.
