Last chance to enter our competition to win The Complete Arista Recordings of Anthony Braxton...
You could be in with a chance to win a limited edition box set - The Complete Arista Recordings of Anthony Braxton - courtesy of Mosaic Records. We have one of these incredible 8-CD packages to give away to the winner of our competition (details further down the page).
The Complete Arista Recordings includes all nine projects for the label (on eight CDs) from this ground-breaking and genre-defying composer and multi-instrumentalist, from his 1974 debut featuring many brilliant members of Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (Braxton's home city and late-60s creative flower bed) to his 1980 composition, "For Two Pianos." The music ranges from Braxton's explorations on unaccompanied alto saxophone, to two full CDs dedicated to a performance of a piece for four 39-piece orchestras, to duets with electronic instruments, and everything in-between.
As well as the 47 compositions included, the box set also harbours a historical essay on Braxton's musical development and a track by track analysis of the recordings by trombonist/composer Mike Heffley, a former Braxton student and author of The Music Of Anthony Braxton (Greenwood Press); an accurate and detailed discography of the sessions; a reminiscence by original producer Michael Cuscuna and many photographs from the recording dates.

To win this rather special box set we've put together a rather special competition:
We'd like you to draw a diagram in the style used by Anthony Braxton to name his compositions graphically. The diagram should be describing a piece of music for any combination of instruments or elements. The main aim is to produce a diagram that looks like it might have been rendered by Anthony Braxton to name one of his compositions. The more imaginative and wild the better. Remember this is the musician who scored pieces for orchestras and puppet theatres, as well as for multiple orchestras located on different planets and in different galaxies.
The best entries, including the winning entry, will be published on the website.
To enter the competition send your finished entry to us in the post or on email, remembering to include your name, address AND email address.
Send to us in physical form to The Wire offices at Braxton Competition, The Wire, 23 Jack's Place, 6 Corbet Place, London, E1 6NN, UK

The deadline for entries is 14 November 2008.
