Importante nello specifico musicale e un po' anche sul piano simbolico, perché celebra i cinquant'anni di carriera del protagonista - pioniere nell'uso dei sintetizzatori analogici e modulari ancor prima che il moog fosse perfezionato - e al contempo i quarant'anni dell'etichetta che più di ogni altra ha fatto per diffonderne il lavoro. E perché è un addio: Make Way For Mother Mallard, doppio album insieme storico, attuale, e totalmente inedito di David Borden. Per Cuneiform Records.

David Borden is a woefully under-valued pioneer of electronic music and a marvelous composer. Besides his hugely important recordings and performances, he established and headed Cornell University’s Digital Music Program. He’s had a hugely active (if little noticed) career and I’m personally thrilled to be able to work with Dave again for our 40th year! (Steve Feigenbaum)

This double CD recording is our last one. We have been with Cuneiform since the 1980s. It’s been a great 50 years with various ups and downs but it has always been fulfilling and continuously enlightening to be working with so many hard-working, beautiful and generous people. (David Borden)
