专辑简介

by Skip JansenAward winning U.K. electro-acoustic composer originally released this recording in the late 70s, and was ground-breaking in his pursuit of the genre and one of the few English academic composers working in with electronics at the time. This CD onParadigm features is reissue of the famed 1979 LP with four additional pieces never before released. Beach Singularity is an excerpt from a day long happening in which the composer performed with an ensemble that featured Saxophonist Lyn Dobson avant-tuba player Melvyn Poore, vocalist Poppy Holden and clarinet improviser Robin Coombes. This performance was designed somewhat like a social intervention, where the musicians performed in conjunction with tape-music and electronics broadcast from small portable stereo systems scattered along the English sea-side. Four short sections make up Menagerie which are a display of some of the most sophisticated electro-acoustic music of the time, and the final piece added to this CD is a solo vocal work entitle Vocalise which is a spontaneous sounding improvisation. This collection combines the influence of free-improvisation, electronics and Modern composition techniques into a unified and highly developed avant-garde music. An important composer working on the fringes of numerous genres, Trevor Wishart extraordinary skill is exhibited well on this CD re-issue, as most of his recordings are extremely obscure self released LPs.
