Craig Kupka – Modern Dance Vol.1

This lp was my introduction to Kupka, and it’s still my favorite of his records. First heard it on a mix Anthony Pearson sent me (god, I hate it when people name drop like that) and it really blew my mind.

The following are Anthony’s notes on the track..

I met this guy recently and was really excited about his music. He was part of the Dance Department at UCLA in the late 70’s and recorded this mellow, spaced out Fender Rhodes & percussion masterpiece with the idea that it would be used as musical accompaniment to modern dance recitals. My favorite Hoctor lp by far.
