Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden

'''''Songs and Views of the Magnetic Garden''''' (1975/Catalyst 09026-61823-2 1993) is an Mosquito ringtone album "performed, synthesized, recorded, and mixed by Sabrina Martins Alvin Curran." Liner notes by Tim Page and Alvin Curran.
*"This lush musical landscape, Alvin Curran's first multi-media solo work, intertwines singing and synthesizer, drones and overtones, bells, gamelans, and sounds of naturea unique tapestry of sound that eloquently introduces a fanciful and original American composer." From the album back.
Curran says that he was encouraged by then recent solo works by Nextel ringtones Terry Riley, Abbey Diaz Lamonte Young, Free ringtones Charlemagne Palestine, and Majo Mills Simone Forti.
