new music for electronic and recorded media: women in electronic music—1977

this is a long-awaited reissue of the cri cd of the classic 1750 arch lp.

"the music on this album exhibits an exciting, wide-open, freewheeling approach to the medium of electronic music which has come to be typical of this genre in the late 1970s. no longer are composers obsessively concerned with the agonizing, expressionistic, and purely “electronic” (synthesized) sound formulas which marked much of this music composed between the mid fifties and the late sixties. instead, today we have composers willing to mix media and sonic materials in thoroughly inventive ways to achieve ends which are new-sounding, and often more engaging, than that of the “academic” avant-garde.

this is the outgrowth of a fundamental change in concerns which has been evolving not only among the composers on this album but also in a growing segment of the musical avant-garde, of which these members are some of the most fecund and inspired. these new sources of inspiration certainly were not as widely shared fifteen years ago. several composers represented here are deeply concerned with eastern influences: meditation, healing, trance, states of serenity. others are inspired by traditional (or “ethnic”) musics and their subsequent metamorphoses into such popular forms as rock and roll. still others bring to bear a sense of wit and satire, rarely a prominent feature of avant-garde music in the early 1960s.

this first anthology of women’s electronic music demonstrates great refinement and skill at work in a variety of different styles, several of which are unfamiliar or new even to those who follow contemporary music. the fact that these pieces are more listenable than that of the sixties avant-garde does not point to a musical regression as some critics have overeagerly assumed when discussing modern works using, say, consonant harmonic structures. rather, and i think this is common denominator for these pieces and something which women composers and artists have been instrumental in legitimizing again for this period in time, these works signify a new consciousness of the relationship of art to human life and the important and positive interaction which can be the role of a more personalized art in our day-to-day experience.”

—charles amirkhanian, august 1977

we keep goin' on our adventure with this fourth volume of our anthology. this installment is the pivoting axis of a seven-piece set. we developpe here some other tendancies includings new creations from china, brazil, norway,hongria and of course some classics and (un)published material from main composers (ligeti, lucier…). some very rare documents too as robert wyatt + françois bayle. more than 3/4 of the tracks are unpublished.

in the previous three anthologies, we mentioned the historical axes at the heart of the advent of concrete and electronic music: pierre schaeffer's workshop studio (in vol. 1), the wdr studio in cologne (vol. 3) and the princeton electronic music center in columbia, new york (vol. 2). quickly though, the development and creation of electronic studios became a priority, with new facilities popping up around the world: throughout europe and america, but also in brazil, mexico and japan, countries where there was a will to create music that was radically new. as important as it was, the technological wave was not big enough, as tod dockstader's case testifies: because of his technician's background in sound editing, he was prevented from pursuing his art in the studios, which remained the musicians' turf.
