Based first in Dallas and later in Hunt's home outside the rural town of Canton, Texas, Irida presented the innovative and daring experiments-into aleatoric methods, environmental acoustics, improvisation, homemade technologies, and more-pursued by Hunt and his select collaborators, primarily working in or near Texas between 1979 and 1986. Irida's brief and compact output-seven non-sequentially numbered LPs released in unknown quantities-shared work by artists whose practices often challenged the limitations of vinyl recording. Hunt called the label a \"vanity project\" and frequently talked of a tax loophole he could claim if it all went belly up, but in it's short lifespan Irida captured a tremendous period of creative experimentation by the artist and his friends and collaborators.\r\n\r\nThis boxed set gathers Irida's complete discography for the first time. These records include early attempts by Hunt to record his generative and highly permutable scores and performances on vinyl in Cantegral Segment(s) 16.17.18.19. \/ Transform (Stream) \/ Transphalba \/ Volta (Kernel), as well as his only composition for piano, \"Lattice,\" on Texas Music (both records 1979). The label distributed solo and group recordings by those in Hunt's circle as well, including Larry Austin's electroacoustic, syncretic compositions in Hybrid Musics; James Fulkerson's unique, extended techniques for the trombone on Works; a fusion of three overlaid compositions in Dary John Mizelle's Music of Dary John Mizelle; spontaneous pieces and riff-based \"character improvisations\" in Music of BL Lacerta by the four piece \"orchestra in miniature\" BL Lacerta Improvisation Quartet; and experiments in compositional \"mapping\" by external structures in Cartography, featuring Austin, Gene de Lisa, Robert Michael Keefe, and Rodney Waschka II. Accompanying the boxed set is a richly-illustrated reader with a detailed essay on on the label by Lawrence Kumpf and Tyler Maxin; never-before-published archival materials; newly commissioned reflections by Fulkerson and the composer Jerry Willingham; as well as an interview with Hunt and ephemera including album and concert reviews, artworks, posters and flyers, and correspondences from the musicians and composers involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLP1: Lattice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sound Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e T'Chu LP2: Transform (Stream)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cantegral Segment 18.17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Transphalba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Volta (Kernel) LP3: Co-Ordinative Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Music for Brass Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Antiphonies and Streams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Suite for Solo 'Cello LP4: Quadrants: Event\/Complex No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Second Fantasy on Ives' Universe Symphony - The Heavens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Catalogo Voce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Maroon Bells LP5: Polyphonies I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Spectra for Bass and Computer Tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Primavera-Heterophony for 24 Celli LP6: High Energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Starts Same but Beautiful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flutes and Tuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Powerful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Estampie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Mother Is Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stravinsky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Third\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monkey Chant LP7: Sanctus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Concertal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fractalis Balinesus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Euwe Suite: 1.
