The Village Voice
“Carnahan's short, commanding sentences leap off from each other at arresting right angles. This is manna for musicians.” –Kyle Gann

The Oakland Tribune
“Fascinating, continuously interesting, not merely intellectual or clever. . . . A book like no other.” –Charles Shere

Weekly Alibi
“Stands bold and upright in the face of variant definitions of the avant-garde and charges the listeners with deciphering meaning for themselves.” –Michael Henningsen

When The Time Is Now was first published (Burning Books, 1983) Carnahan gave the book to musician and composer friends asking them to put the words to music using any story they liked. They did. The works on this compilation were created from 1983 to 1996. Original spiral-bound book with tabbed section dividers is redesigned here to fit CD as boxed set.
