The exploration of music in the context of our time is a challenge that fuses and energizes the unique musical community at UCSD. UCSD Music is perhaps most importantly a safe haven for a sharp clash of ideas. The community's overlapping foci - improvisation, scholarship, technology, composition and performance - reveal a field of rich tradition in constant expansion, instantly splintering, thoughtfully reinvented. We who have committed our professional lives to the growth and sustenance of this community aspire to sustain an atmosphere of continually tested constraints and liberties, where opportunities are so numerous, tempting and inspiring, that at times the central challenge is in finding the wisdom of what NOT to do.

The CD set is a compilation of musics from the UCSD graduate school community. Some contributions are drawn from archive recordings, others are more carefully recorded special projects and dissertation works.

The repertoire was selected by graduate students and faculty of the department, and this release is the first in an annual non-profit production of the UCSD Music Recording Committee.
