PIANO WORKS Album, 1983: Five pieces for piano, sequencer and sound effects, composed and performed by Elodie Lauten.

"Insistent rhythmic passages on the piano complement, coincide or conflict with various processed tape environments."
-- John Schaefer, New Sounds, Harper & Row
THE DEATH OF DON JUAN Album, 1985: Elodie Lauten on Fairlight Computer and vocals, with Arthur Russell on cello and vocals, Peter Zummo on trombone and vocals, and soprano Randi Larowitz. "The Death of Don Juan is one of Lauten's strongest works, an opera in two short acts dealing with a metaphorical, surreal version of the Don Juan story. Besides such oddities as taped voices, amplified harpsichords and computer, Lauten also uses an electro-acoustic lyre of her own design." John Schaefer, New Sounds, Harper & Row

"Don Juan is a welcome and engaging addition to the repertoire of contemporary opera." Dean Suzuki, Op Magazine
BLUE RHYTHMS CD, 1988: Blues related pieces layering piano, electronic keyboards, processed violin, electric guitar, composed and performed by Elodie Lauten.

"Lauten's minimalism has a character all its own." Robert Ianapollo, Cadence
