'| |
| |
| This deluxe three-CD set, including a hardbound, 200-page book, |
| documents the music of a major figure on the European electronic |
| music scene since the '60s, but one who is largely unknown |
| stateside. At its best, which is often, Dick Raaijmakers' work |
| compares favorably to better-known composers such as Iannis |
| Xenakis or Pierre Schaeffer. His pieces range widely, from |
| relatively "traditional" electronic scores to ultra-abstract works |
| like the "Canon" series from the mid-'60s, made up of |
| static-sounding crackles derived from vinyl surface noise and with |
| only arcane relationships to one another. This becomes all the |
| more eerie when, in the fifth canon, the quavering voice of Edith |
| Piaf periodically emerges from and sinks back into this thorny |
| sea. Then you have compositions like "Ballade Erikonig Voor |
| Luidsprekers," veritable epics of sound explorations, densely |
| packed with layers of throbbing tones, prickly pings, and the |
| occasional importation of radio broadcasts (here, often Indian |
| popular song). The second disc contains several pieces, written as |
| film soundtracks, that are somewhat "straighter" (semi-regular |
| rhythms, more recognizable electronic sounds, etc.) though just as |
| fascinating, sounding like accompaniment for a particularly |
| avant-garde science-fiction movie, something like Tarkovsky's |
| Stalker. Three works centered around the figure of Chairman Mao |
| are unusual even in this context, ranging from an eight-minute |
| erased tape to an impenetrable game-based piece for eight ersatz |
| Chinese violins to a lovely (if intentionally kitschy) electronic |
| transposition of revolutionary Chinese choral music and thunder. |
| The final disc contains, among other works of interest, a piece |
| for enormously amplified music box (playing "The Internationale" |
| at a snail's pace), a string quartet where the catgut and bows |
| have been replaced by metal wires carrying static charges, and a |
| small fantasy on ping-pong. Idiosyncratic to say the least, |
| Raaijmakers carved out his own inquisitive, delightful sound |
| world, and deserves to be heard by anyone purporting to be a fan |
| of contemporary electronic music. Highly recommended. AMG Review |
