various artists | soirée du coeur a barbe: festival paris dada

a groundbreaking anthology of piano music directly linked to the dada avant-garde art movement in paris between 1920 and 1923, soirée du coeur a barbe: festival dada paris is based on the piano repertoire performed at two landmark dada events in paris, namely the festival dada on 26 may 1920, and the infamous soirée du coeur a barbe on 6 july 1923, an event disrupted by violent confrontation between tristan tzara's dada faction and surrealists lead by andre breton.

music from the 1920 event includes two pieces by georges ribemont-dessaignes as well as the american nurse by francis picabia, the latter described as 'three notes repeated to infinity'. pieces performed at the riotous 1923 soirée include two fox-trots by georges auric and darius milhaud (both members of the celebrated group les six), trois morceaux en forme de poire by erik satie (performed in person by the composer on the night), and three easy pieces by igor stravinsky.

the cd also includes other pieces such as satie's bizarre playlet le piège de méduse (premiered in paris in may 1921), drie composities voor klavier by the belgian-born dada/surrealist e.l.t. mesens, and a piano rendering of marcel duchamp's short vocal musical erratum of 1913. the cd closes with an historic archive stravinsky recording from 1925 by marcelle meyer, the pianist who performed at both dada events in 1920 and 1923.

always described in detail in texts on the history of dada and surrealism, the music performed at these events is rarely heard, and remarkably this cd marks the first ever recordings of these compositions by ribemont-dessaignes, picabia and mesens. all were researched and performed for the project by virtuoso dutch pianist peter beijersbergen van henegouwen. the booklet includes detailed liner notes by james hayward, as well as archive images.

francis picabia | la nourrice américaine (the american nurse)

a unique cd by influential avant-garde artist francis picabia, featuring two interpretations of his provocative 1920 dadaist piece for piano, together with a spoken word extract from 1945.

written in 1920, la nourrice américaine (the american nurse) consists of "three notes repeated to infinity" and was performed for the first - and last - time at the festival dada, staged at the salle gaveau in paris on 26 may 1920. a landmark event, the festival dada included contributions from tristan tzara, andre breton, paul eluard, louis aragon, philippe soupault and georges ribemont-dessaignes, and launched the dada phenomenon in paris.

la nourrice américaine was performed on the day by marguerite buffet, duration unknown. it seems likely that picabia's only venture into musical composition was inspired by talks with his friends erik satie, marcel duchamp and edgard varese. on this cd fast and slow interpretations are included, both performed by pianist tom feldschuh and each lasting for 20 minutes. the cd also includes a rare spoken word piece by picabia (in the french language), recording a visit to the artist's paris atelier in july 1945.

marcel duchamp | musical erratum + in conversation

written in 1913, the musical erratum for piano forms part of the sequence of notes and projects which led to duchamp's celebrated artwork, la mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même (the bride stripped bare by her batchelors, even, often called the large glass). la mariée is also the sub-title of the 1913 piano work.

abstract, elusive and even "inachievable" according to the artist, the musical erratum consists of two scores. in the first, notes are replaced by numbered keys, and virtuoso performance is discouraged in favour of novel mechanical instrumentation. the second offers a form of random composition, by which numbered balls are dropped into the moving wagons of a toy train. famously, duchamp described the whole as "a very useless performance, in any event." two versions are included on this new cd, including a conventional (but non-virtuoso) performance on piano, and another on which spinning rotary discs brush the piano strings to produce extraordinary tones.

the 74 minute cd also includes four spoken word extracts by duchamp (english language), including a fascinating lecture delivered in houston in 1957, the creative act, and a lengthy interview recorded in 1959.

gavin bryars | hommages

newly remastered cd edition of the lost yet influential album by acclaimed modern british composer gavin bryars. originally released in november 1981 on les disques du crepuscule, hommages was recorded in leicester in february 1981 and produced by noted belgian composer wim mertens. the album was conceived as a series of diverse homages to other composers, which include bill evans (my first homage), ferruccio busoni and gustav holst (the english mail-coach and the vespertine park) and percy grainger (hi-tremolo).

featured musicians included andrew bilham, ronald reah, andrew renshaw, nigel shipway, dave smith, john white and marie wilson, as well as gavin bryars himself on piano and vibraphone. the album is the only one which documents the important period between bryars' early experimental music and later works from medea onwards, as well as his enthusiasm for small composer/performer ensembles.

this new 63 minute digital remaster of hommages includes two bonus tracks composed and recorded by bryars during the same period: danse dieppoise, and the lengthy piano piece out of zaleski's gazebo. the booklet features extensive notes by gavin bryars on the origin and performance of all six pieces, and preserves the original album cover artwork by marc borgers.

this new double cd edition has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and features 125 minutes of material. most of the tracks featured here remain unavailable elsewhere. the cd follows on the success of our 2006 re-release of the 1980 crepuscule compilation from brussels with love (ltmcd 2469).

overview of the avant-garde piano repertoire of nelly aka pétro van doesburg, performed at various de stijl, dada and bauhaus soirees in europe between 1920 and 1925.

born in holland in 1899, nelly met de stijl movement founder and propagandist theo van doesburg in 1920. over the next decade the couple lived in wiemar (where theo was associated with the influential bauhaus art and architecture school) and then paris. a conservatory-trained pianist, nelly accompanied her husband's lectures with selected modernist piano pieces, and also performed at salon dada soirees organised by theo with kurt schwitters in holland and germany in 1922/23. following theo's death in 1931, nelly established the de stijl archive.

the material on this 76 minute cd, performed by noted dutch pianist peter beijersbergen van henegouwen, includes pieces by erik satie, josef matthias hauer, arnold schoenberg, francis poulenc, arthur honegger and jacob van domselaer, whose austere proeven van stijlkunst (1913-17) offers an application of piet mondriaan's neo-plastic principles to musical composition. the cd also features a deluxe booklet featuring archive images and detailed historical notes.

various artists | bauhaus reviewed 1919-1933

the first audiobook cd to explore the highly influential bauhaus school of art and architecture, which operated in germany between 1919 and 1933.

the spoken word element centres on a revealing talk by walter gropius, the architect and theoretician who founded the bauhaus in 1919. the cd also includes contributions from the school's third and final director, architect ludwig mies van der rohe, and teacher josef albers. all interviews are in the english language.

the music content of the cd features piano pieces written between 1919 and 1925 by six composers associated with the bauhaus: arnold schoenberg, josef matthias hauer, george antheil, stefan wolpe and h.h. stuckenschmidt. several of these pieces reflect serialism and 12-tone technique; most are performed by steffen schleiermacher on piano.

with a generous running time of 72 minutes, the cd also features a deluxe booklet featuring archive bauhaus images and detailed historical notes by james hayward.

erik satie | musique de la rose + croix/pages mystiques/uspud

new cd in our series by visionary french composer erik satie (1866-1925), following the success of previous releases vexations and cocteau, satie & les six, and presenting selected satie recordings with explicit links to the unconventional, the mystic and the avant-garde.

musique de la rose+croix is a double disc set (94 minutes) of solo piano music comprising satie's enigmatic rosicrucian pieces (1891-1894) together with an instrumental version of the ballet score uspud (1892) and the meditative works collected as the pages mystiques (1893).

for a short period erik satie was appointed official composer for the esoteric ordre de la rose-croix catholique du temple et du graal, founded in paris by the flamboyant mystic 'sar' joséphin péladan. the first salon de la rose-croix was held in march 1892, at which satie's solemn trois sonneries de la rose+croix were performed for the first time. satie also composed music for péladan's play le fils ses étoiles (son of the stars), as well as two preludes for a chivalric play, le nazaréen. satie subsequently broke from the order in august 1892.

subsequent works by satie in the same vein include his remarkable 'christian ballet' uspud (1892), 'sacred' music intended to shock and ridicule the parisian musical establishment, and the pages mystiques of 1893. the latter includes his celebrated piece vexations, the score for which is just three lines long, yet a complete performance (840 repetitions) may last for anything between 14 and 28 hours.

satie's so-called 'rosicrucian adventure' produced some of the composer's most enigmatic and extraordinary works, performed here by pianists bojan gorisek and richard cameron-wolfe. the booklet of the double cd set includes detailed liner notes by james hayward.

erik satie | socrate + melodies

new cd edition of the acclaimed recording of erik satie's symphonic drama socrate, performed by music projects london and previously available on the factory classical label. completed in the spring of 1918, socrate is a typical eccentric piece from avant-garde pioneer erik satie. written in three movements for voice (four sopranos) and small orchestra (or piano), the text is extracted from three platonic dialogues and depicts the last days of the greek philosopher socrates, condemned to death for corrupting the young men of athens. the subtitle 'symphonic drama' belies the understatement and economy of socrate, which satie aimed to make 'white and pure like antiquity.' to achieve this, satie claimed that he ate only white foods.

socrate itself lasts for 30 minutes, and is joined on this cd by five short song cycles written by satie between 1886 and 1923: trois melodies (1886), trois autres melodies, trois melodies (1916), quatres petite melodies (1920) and the absurdist ludions ('bottle imps') (1923), the latter with lyrics by poet léon-paul fargue.

the 61 minute cd was digitally recorded at all saints church, petersham, uk. sopranos susan bickley, eileen hulse and patricia rosario perform with pianist robin bowman and conductor richard bernas. this new cd edition from ltm features new artwork and revised liner notes and translations, including full texts of socrate and all eighteen melodies in both french and english.

franco casavola | futurlieder

ltm presents the very first dedicated album of music by the leading italian futurist composer, theorist and writer franco casavola. he was invited to join the futurist movement by f.t. marinetti in 1922 and wrote a number of scores for theatre productions, including the mechanical ballets anihccam del 3000 and fantasia meccanica. he also wrote a number of essays and manifestoes on future music, and a futurist novel, introduction to madness. casavola broke with futurism in 1927, and afterwards scored movies.

although casavola claimed to have destroyed all his futurist scores in 1927, recent research has proved otherwise. futurlieder gathers together short futurist pieces such as dance of the monkeys (hop frog), zoological foxtrot, epileptic cabaret and campari (one of the first published advertising jingles). in addition the 66 minute cd includes longer song cycles such as tankas, liriche, la sera and gioielleria notturna, all of which are later works (though still avowedly modernist), and include settings of lyrics by the poet gabriele d'annunzio.

all 28 tracks on futurlieder are previously unreleased and were recorded by virtuoso italian duo daniele lombardi (piano) and susanna rigacci (soprano) between 1994 and 2004. the tracks were produced by carlo piccardi for radio svizzera/rete-due, with whom this cd is a co-production. the cover art is based on a 1932 design by fortunato depero.

...one of my favorite 2007 discoveries has been the groovy records catalogue... three records released by pete shelley & friends in 1980, two of which appear on the “nurse with wound list” ...

the first, and arguably the best is a little number called “£3.33” by the free agents; a troupe led by eric “random” ramsden here with barry anderson, pete shelley, and francis cookson in tow; who in 1980 laid the london ymca to waste with their brand of raw oscillator gurgle and messed-up live-dub extrapolations...

while this set doesn’t contain that particular bit, it does offer a bunch of art-damaged early 80s uk-electronic weirdness, ranging from the liquid-sky-esque harmonized-vocal grump of “dow chemical co”, the mutant drum-machine funk / plunderphonics of “23 skidoo”, etc... if the early 80s home-recorded synth-spectrum ogles your wardrobe, this could be good for you...

double-cd from cult manchester electronica pioneer eric random, best known for his early post-punk recordings for new hormones and crepuscule, and collaborations with pete shelley (buzzcocks), cabaret voltaire and nico. as an original member of the tiller boys with pete shelley, random injected a healthy dose of krautrock into the dour manchester post-punk scene in 1978/79, before going solo the following year. his early singles included dow chemical company, subliminal and that's what i like about me, the latter an nme single of the week in 1980. his first album, earthbound ghost need, arrived in march 1982, and features guest contributions from richard h. kirk and stephen mallinder of cabaret voltaire. these early records are variously informed by electronica, loops, jazz, dub and mutant funk.

this digitally remastered set features the first three eric random singles on new hormones and les disques du crepuscule together with two rare compilation-only tracks for touch and plurex, with the 1982 album earthbound ghost need on the second disc. all of which adds up to a total playing time of 105 minutes of sinister, sonambulent random music. the artwork is based on an original image by claude stassart and the booklet features liner notes and archive images.

various | cocteau, satie & les six

the second release on new imprint salon, whose catalogue will reflect the contribution of music to 20th century avant-garde art. the celebrated l'album des six of 1920 is now recognised as a landmark in 20th century modern music. similarly the artful relationship between the composers who formed 'les six' and their mentors erik satie and jean cocteau forms an important cornerstone of the inter-war avant garde.

this 74 minute anthology also includes music composed by satie and les six for spectacles staged by cocteau between 1917 and 1920, as well as arthur honegger's futuristic pacific 231, and music by georges auric for five cocteau films made between 1930 and 1959: le sang d'un poete, la belle et la bete, l'aigle a deux tetes, orphee, le testament d'orphee. the deluxe booklet features many rare images, as well as detailed historical notes by noted author james hayward.

erik satie | vexations

written by eccentric french composer erik satie in 1893, the extraordinary score for vexations is just three lines long, yet a complete performance (840 repetitions) may last for anything between 14 and 28 hours. first performed under the supervision of john cage in 1963, this radical yet enigmatic work is now recognized as a significant milestone in avant-garde music. some credit vexations with occult numerical meaning, others as 'satie's greatest prank' or a 'poor man's ring of the nibelung'. curiously, despite the almost infinitely repetitive nature of the piece, the central 18 note motif is notoriously hard to remember. indeed no single pianist has yet been able to negotiate a complete performance of all 840 repetitions.

this meditative 70 minute recording features 40 repetitions of the motif, performed by alan marks on piano. the recording was produced by thomas wilbrant. by performing 40 repetitions over 70 minutes, marks provides a relatively concise introduction. digitally recorded, the cd also features detailed liner notes by stephen whittington.
