| reissue of this fantastic lp of quebecois experimental-instrument/electro-acoustic improvisation by sonde, originally released in 1978 on music gallery editions & seldom seen/talked about by the experimental music cognoscenti...
this was on my “want list” for years, until i finally found a copy in montréal last year & have been thoroughly enjoying it ever since. sonde’s music fits perfectly in the continuum of free-floating psychedelic improv, from early amm to taj mahal travelers to il gruppo to morphogenesis, etc... yet this has more of an “art gallery” feel to it, especially with the music performed on a series of baschet-brothers / harry bertoia / robert rutman-esque sound-sculptures, electronically processed through tape-echo and ring-modulation in real time.
an absolute joy to have this available on cd, along with a disc of otherwise unreleased “studio” recordings (see below) - highly recommended to any/all fans of sound-art, non-idiomatic improvisation, and live electronics ... |

cd_21, 2007, label: oral
catalogue :oral cd_21
this cd is the re-edition of an lp made by music gallery editions in 1978. it is (still) dedicated to the composer mario bertoncini who was the band main inspiration at the start for sonde, a quebec band active from 1976 to 1986. for most of the tracks in this recording the band was andrew culver, keith daniel, charles de mestral, pierre dostie, chris howard and linda pavelka.
the notes on the back of the original cover mentioned:
live concert improvisations. some of the pieces are played on new sound sources designed and constructed by members of the group. others use traditional sources in a new context. occasional use of electronic sound modification techniques.
sonde is a group of montreal electroacoustic composers and performers. their compositions were generally conceived for live performance on original sound sculptures. through meditative improvisation, the group's aim was to produce new music with sounds revealed by electroacoustic amplification and transformation. very active from 1976 to 1986, the members of the group included andrew culver, charles de mestral, pierre dostie, chris howard, robin minard, michael o'neill and linda pavelka. since the beginning, keith daniel provided sonde's technical support.
