Adolph Wölfli: The Heavenly Ladder / Analysis of the Musical Cryptograms, by Baudoin De Jaer. 2011 release on Sub Rosa, wherein violinist De Jaer masterfully interprets Wölfli's wild & cryptic musical notations. Thanks to "Unknown" for the tip.

Amazing stuff! When I saw his name I thought you might be linking to this new record based on his "compositions"— http://www.twitteringmachines.com/2011/06/adolph-wolfli-the-heavenly-ladder-analysis-of-the-musical-cryptograms/
@Unknown- Many thanks for the tip. Just finished sampling the album. Must get.
No, I fell into Wölfli's work as if by accident last night, via WFMU's Gallery of Unusual Musical Notation, and found myself immediately under his spell. I didn't mean to tease you with the prospects of a coveted new release. Hadn't gotten so far as to know about it, as I was cross-eyed after a late work night when I tossed up this post. Happy to add to things a bit, now that I'm up for my day.
Salud!
