Intellectual Property is a mischievous album by a mischievous composer. Each track brings its load of surprises, the album as a whole portraying Mark Applebaum's many interests: sound sculpture, electronics, acoustic instrumentation, and "composer humor," so to speak. This very diversity can be seen as the disc's flaw, but it actually makes for a more enjoyable listen than the more single-minded Mousetrap Music or Janus Remixes. "Intellectual Property I" is a dry choice for a beginning. A piece for two improvising pianists, one recorded and one playing live, both on the same Disklavier, it combines conflicting nonidiomatic (but actually contemporary classical-oriented) and jazz passages in a rather predictable way. "Plundergraphic" is much more substantial. The piece calls for eight-channel tape (consisting of two stereo acoustic quartets and their digitally processed counterparts) mixed live with a live acoustic quartet and its processed counterpart. Rich and dizzying, the piece provides the first highlight of the set... - Francois Couture, AMG
