A master of montage and influential innovator of sampling from unusual source material, here the Stone performs pieces for laptop electronics composed in 2011 and 2012. Carl Stone is one of the pioneers of live computer music, and has been hailed by the Village Voice as "the king of sampling." He has used computers in live performance since 1986. Stone was born in Los Angeles and now divides his time between California and Japan. Recorded at Experimental Intermedia Foundation by Phill Niblock and team.

"Experimental Composers" is produced by Clocktower Radio and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM. Writes Clocktower Radio, "Performances from new and established musical innovators. The unfortunate and unintended messages that come attached to a title like Experimental Composers are many. Still it is one of the few labels to come out of the world of music that has not been co-opted by promoters, corporations, journalists, or lawyers. This one just seems to have anti-market goo on it. Hooray. It's also just bad English (as if to imply that these poor souls are themselves, in their flesh and blood, some kind of experiment and, perhaps, even expendable). And then there is the spectre of defying the wisdom of the great Edgar Varèse who said something like, 'I do not write experimental music. My experimenting is done before I make the music. Afterwards it is the listener who must experiment."
