| march 2008 release ; the sixth & most recent entry into the “other” series of compilations collecting early japanese electronic music ... starting out w/ shibata’s 1955 “musique concréte for stereophonic broadcast” (a kind of insane extended take utilizing water & machine noises ... even crowd-reaction documentation & varèse-lineage percussion-room sonics), takemistu’s 1958 “sky, horse and death” (crystal-clear tape-speed manipulation with breaking glass, spare piano figures, and a disembodied ghost-choir), mayuzumi’s 1959 “campanology” (sliding gong-tones & chimes), a 1960 group-composition by employees of the nhk studio (synthesis-heavy piece using varying echo/space-chambers & band-pass filtering), matsudaira’s 1969 “assemblages” (for me the pick of the comp - endless variations on extremely noisy / ring-modulated source material ranging from group-sound to radio telemetry mixed with some crazed group-mumbling & general-purpose vocal-freakouts ... ), and hirose’s 1971 “flora” (subdued “frozen” sounds & an electronic free-improv coda ...)
probably the nicest-looking volume in the series, with a 12-page booklet with detailed notes & an nhk chronology (all in japanese, unfort.) i know the price on this one (and all the other volumes by proxy) is kinda hard to swallow ... but considering the price of japanese imports these days ($#@!& economy) things could be much, much worse ... highly (sorry !!!) recommended !!! |
