Tropes on the Salve Regina
I've heard rumo(u)r of the Creel Pone "shortlist"; i.e. the member-curated selection of "candidates" for the Creel Pone treatment, each title nominated then judged according to strict set of attributes found running throughout the series (intangible …
Iowa Ear Music
This one’s certainly a mold-breaker; closer in spirit to Cage / Tudor’s “Indeterminacy” than the sort of bedroom solo composer / producer / performer LPs that have been the Creel Pone archetype thus far. Improvisors were set up in 4 different isolat…
Electronic Tricks
L’Illustration Musicale - more commonly known as simply “IM” - was a Parisian production library active during the early to mid 70s, during which they issued a couple-dozen titles by the cream of the crop: Eddie Warner, Johnny Hawksworth, Bernard “B…
Musica Elettronica 1
Here’s something of a Holy Grail amongst the “Electronic Library” spec; Romolo Grano’s 1973 Joker-label “Musica Elettronica 1,” touted as no less than an all-encompassing “New Dimension in Sound, Electronically Tested in Sound Laboratory,” The polar…
IPEM 1963-73
Easily the most elusive of the three “I.P.E.M.” (Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music) titles released by Alpha Brussels (you want to do this? alright, here we go - this one, CP 138, was the first to be released, SP-6015, 1973 - follow…
Live Electronic
After a long winter-hiatus, Creel Pone returns anew in fine form w /a reproduction of this 1979 Hungaroton-label burner, covering a series of "Live Electronic" pieces composed by Laszlo Dubrovay during the mid-late 70s. After an extended "Modern Com…
Elektronische Musik, Konkret - Instrumental - Vokal
1982 compilation of late 70s & early 80s "Konkret - Instrumental - Vokal" work composed at the Studio für Elektronische Musik der Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart. Includes pieces by Jürgen Bäuninger (incredible trans…
Organum Quadruplum
Here’s a special one: the 1974 “Edizioni Musicali e Discografiche Pubbliart” - essentially, a private imprint - issue of Vittorio Gelmetti’s electronic music, including the extended 1969 piece “L'Opera Abbandonata,” composed at the Studio Eksperyment…
Dimensione Sogno
Despite being something of a self-professed “Enthusiast” of exactly this kind of thing - privately-released LPs of minimal, experimental electronic music from the 1970s - I had literally never heard head nor hide of the storied Italian actor - he was…
Íslensk Raftónlist / Electronic Music From Iceland
Ah, yes ; here's Mr. P.C. C.P.'s treatment of the other known Icelandic Early Electronic music LP - the first, while not really Icelandic in the sense that it was composed @ UCSD :: Thorkell Sigurbjrnsson's "La Jolla Good Friday;" Creel Pone #52 - bu…
Música Nueva Latinoamericana
Creel Pone treatment of four LPs, privately released (on the Tacuabé label) in Uruguay in the mid-to-late 70s, “Música Nueva Latinamericana 1 • Cuatro Composiciones Electroacusticas • Bazan / Bolaños / Kusnir / Neves,” “Música Nueva Latinamericana 2 …
Prismes
Previously, Mr. P.C. C.P. had the wise idea to replicate the two “Corticalart” Pierre Henry titles, considered by many as the most wild & woolly amongst the French Musique Concrète master’s vast discography. Personally, I’ve long been puzzled by the …
Elektronische Musik
Mr. P.C. C.P.’s handling of this 1981 “Private-Press” (c/o the Internationales Musikstudio - aka the Nürnberg vinyl pressing plant) abstract-synth stunner, comprised of three pieces composed during the mid 70s & early 80s by “Elektronische Musik im U…
SMI, Sozialistische Musiker Initiative
Creel Pone here resuming the regular one-a-week schedule for the next few weeks / months, starting off here with easily the noisiest entrant since Pierre Henry’s “Mise en Musique” - possibly even moreso! - a split LP of Socialist Text-Sound & Musique…
Discurso aos Objectos #2
Two incredible, light-speed Musique Concrète pieces from the Brazilian composer & Grupo Um member Lelo Nazario. The first, “Discurso Aos Objectos #2” managing to shove in pretty much the entire universe of sound (loud, destruction-oriented sections o…
Fugue of Light
Here the “Italian Invasion” finally grinds to a halt with this, the lone outing from the virtually un-google-able composer Vittorio Marino. Amidst the absolutely spot-on Engrish depictions of possible placement / use - “The machine finds the place to…
Nana
Drummer Edward Vesala was an early Finnish pioneer of avant garde jazz, and he managed to release this lovely LP that has to be considered the first proper Finnish free jazz album in 1970. The Vesala trio was supposed to be a quartet, but trumpetist …
Ragas And Talas (1959)
One of his earliest LPs in its entirety, Ragas & Talas (origibally on His Master’s Voice ALP1665), issued in 1959 is finally available again. All played with a hypnotic quality that's really wonderful! Indian musician Ravi Shankar (1920–2012) was one…
Transparent
Double LP version. Comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 12" booklet of unseen images and includes a download card. The entire Transparent recordings released for the first time, completely remastered from the unedited tapes. Zos Kia was formed by John G…
