The price is US$10, and it will be handled through PayPal. If you would like to get a copy of this, the first (and possibly last, we’ll see how it goes) physical release from [Array], please click the ‘Purchase [AR11] Seven Solos’ link below. Please also send an email to ArrayWeb ::–AT–:: gmail.com with your postal address, just in case. The first 7 people to purchase this release will also receive a bonus floppy-disc copy of “Instants I”, a selection of 3 sound instants by Massimo Magee.
I’m not going to be releasing these in any fixed number, just until either I get fed up with making copies, or people stop buying them, whichever comes first.

Massimo Magee: inside piano, cymbal, tenor saxophone, ukelele, clarinet, radio, tape recorder, signal generator, metronome, loops, recording of an improvisation from the previous day (on Tenor and sopranino saxophones, trumpet, amplifier with headphones and preparations, keyboard, radio, signal generator, loops, tape recorder, metronome )
Note: the recording was used in the improvisation as any other instrument would have been – decisions to start/stop/pause/rewind etc. the recording were taken during the improvisation just as decisions to start or stop playing a particular instrument would have been. This piece is improvised, with no edits or overdubbing.
