... trucking right along, here’s the 1974 second entrant from british library studio g’s “avant garde” series, featuring a trilogy of pieces composed by none other than “acezantez” head dubravko detoni ; only his second lp release (following the storied “graphie i.ii.iii / phonomorphia 1.2.3” lp for philips’ prospective 21e siècle series from a few short years prior) ... ... laid out with familiar library-lexicon panache (the three pieces are described as “acoustics for piano effects and cello”, “piano effects and electronics”, and “for orchestra and electronics”) detoni’s music here is concerned with dense electro-acoustic grapplings with small-group instrumental timbres rivaling his “above-board” work for jugoton ... in particular the piano-transform piece “phonomorphia” (sound-sample to your left) is a fantastically dark musique concrète workout that calls to mind such canonic work as raaijmakers’ “pianoforte”, yet retaining dubravko’s extended sense of space & dense tonal clustering(s) ... ... to round things out, there’s a piece by regulars (their pieces dot the tracklistings of both “dramatic and horror” volumes for studio g, along with many bruton & standard libraries) john lewis & john keliehor, consisting of some very cinematic atonal organ & a-rhythmic marching-band figures that erupt into a big grisly blowout worthy of the closing credits of a lucio fulci film ... lovely cover as well, reproduced beautifully thanks to the upgraded 2011 c.p. print-spec ::
