this creel pone edition includes :: 1 x crystal-clear resealable polypropylene cd sleeve with a custom foil stamp affixed to the exterior 1 x double-sided six-color inkjet-printed hand-cut card-stock booklet 2 x single-sided one-color laser-printed hand-cut vellum translations sheets 1 x six-color inkjet-printed compact disc recordable in a high-density round-bottom cd sleeve prospective 21st century pierre henry music made with roger lafosse's corticalart variations and sonic improvisations on the electric waves of the brain, recorded live at concerts at the museum of modern art in the city of paris in february 1971 technical production of corticalart groupe artec (bordeaux) electroacoustic production apsome and j. heuze improvisations and sonic direction pierre henry right, illustration: christian morin left, photo: david henry universal engraving stereo / mono : 6521.022 thanks to a new technique, this stereophonic recording can be played on any modern record player with a light head. however, the stereo effect will only be reproduced on stereophonic equipment. pierre henry, a man who has lived in a den of microphones and loudspeakers for more than 20 years, doesn't take the power of technology lightly. he uses technology as a tool to further his investigation of sounds yet unheard. pierre henry's electroacoustic catalog is the largest, most pure and determinant of it's kind. throughout his work he displays a delicate symbiosis between a craftsman and his tool and his electronic-art equipment as he acts as a precise and deliberate sculptor of sound. in corticalart (literally: the art of the cortex), the relationship between the artist and his instrument is a thousand times closer; much faster and more direct. the mental acts of creation, capturing and amplification all happen in an instant using direct psychological mechanisms. to a composer seeking new experiences, one who is always impassioned by new inventions, organic micro-sounds and electroacoustic techniques that go beyond the fixed world of magnetic tape, the device created by roger lafosse, avant-garde cultural pioneer, founder and director of sigma arts and contemporary trends of bordeaux, researcher and musician, promises a thrilling adventure. a system of electrodes similar to those used in electroencephalography affixed to the musician's head, can detect three kinds of electrical signals emanating from the cerebral cortex: alpha waves (relaxation, inattention, rest), beta waves (arousal, attention, activity, response) and artifact signals that are linked to eye movement. seven distinct sound sources, that is to say, seven electronic sound generators, are modulated by these infinitesimal waves. they offer the composer, who is both his own material and it's master, a musical substance that may be manipulated, combined and amplified at will in a direct and spontaneous improvisation hitherto unheard of in the electroacoustic field. maurice fleuret

labyrinthe ! first performance commissioned by radio france labyrinthe ! an expedition in sound in 10 sequences: enfoncement, gouffre circulaire, noyau secret, apesanteur, entrailles, four solaire, fissures, mer interieure, eruption, remonree. labyrinthe! the light of darkness. the perfect reversal. the intertwining of difference and repetition. crossed sounds. crossed lines. oblique lines. coinciding lines. lines which open. blocked lines. lines which close. the parallelism between writing and the ways of reality. a language which constanly raises sounds and things. mental gold. perpetual births. a wonderful toolbox of noises where certain grm sounds hit the windows of a ghost train. a spiral in an imaginary crucible made of bone. clamours, and breathing on an immense scale. a secret ceremony of the great circle in the depths of the earth. a magnetic lift in a way. for the first time during my journey and ventures into the world of creation, i dreamt of a breath of fresh air deriving from the electronic realm. labyrinthe emerged as the result. all in all, a collaborative work achieved, overcoming the distance between its sources. the sound cuts from grm reached me as set of reflections, like "cadavre exquis". fragments in any order, all on cd, sent by post, 7 composers, 7 colleagues sent me 58 tracks of varying lengths in various keys. this continuity inspired me to create a maze-like musical form, in concentric volumes, all thoroughly intertwining with each other. above all, my contribution is intended to be harmonic. i take great care in attending to any drifting effects occurring with other sounds. a smooth descent for all, in their order of entry into the subterranean: donato, geslin, gayou, losa, zanesi, terruggi, dao. pierre henry pierre henry would like to thank the composers philippe dao, françois donato, evelyne gayou, yann geslin, diego losa, daniel teruggi and christian zanesi for having given him, in tribute, the sounds and musical objects of the current grm, specially produced for his birthday. pierre henry has included these sounds in his labyrinthe!
