    A new concept of a musical textbook with 3-CDs and video DVD in a
    deluxe slipcase edition.

. "INACTUELLES" is a unique collaboration between Mode and the Parisian 
art book store Tschann, to combine CDs and video DVDs of musical 
performances with an informative musical textbook.
. "PERCUSSION(S)" is the first volume of INACTUELLES: an incredible 
survey of music for percussion in the 20th and 21st century - performed 
by the great French percussionist Roland Auzet.
. INACTUELLES translates as "UNTIMELY": a collection of CDs/DVD/book 
that represents the most original in recent new music without 
concessions to style. That which is truly original - a unique approach 
to composing musical sound - transcends fashion, technical and aesthetic 
concerns and becomes  "timeless"... Inactuelles.

THE MUSIC:
. Recordings of 13 works, including 7 world premieres.
. 3CDs and a DVD of studio recordings by virtuoso French 
percussionist/composer Roland Auzet:
for percussion solo (Xenakis, Taïra)
for percussion and voice (Xenakis, Pape)
for percussion and ensemble (Xenakis, Milhaud, Alsina)
for percussion and electronics (Auzet, Bancquart, Campion, Jodlowski, 
Tanaka)
. a DVD of Auzet's performance of Xenakis' Psappha and Rebonds by 
filmmaker Jacques Goldstein.
. Performers include vocalists Nicholas Isherwood, Janet Pape and 
Armelle Orieux, Ensemble FA, Ensemble Musique Aujord'hui, conductors 
Jean-Marie Adrien, Alain Bancquart and Domnique My.

AND THE 500+ PAGE BOOK:
. A book (in English and French) by French musicologist Pierre-Albert 
CASTENET, Percussion(s): Gesture and Spirit, which discusses the history 
of percussion music including interviews with Auzet about interpretation 
and performance of percussion music, especially the works and the 
composers recorded in this set.
. Preface by Pierre BOULEZ.
. Postface by master American percussionist Steven SCHICK.
