│release notes.
This CD contains two wonderful, early electronic compositions by
this continually adventurous composer. Alien Bog (1967) was
realized at the Tape Music Center at Mills College (now called the
Center for Contemporary Music in Oakland, California); this
mysterious electronic work evokes a place deep in the natural
world, far from humankind's civilizations -- low gentle thumps at
ground level, high cycling bird-like sounds, sustained cricket
calls, quick side-to-side flights of unknown critters, low calls of
immense animals in the distance, all cycling contrapuntally, to
create a peaceful yet bizarre environment. This is a sophisticated
sonic painting from the early days of electronic music, which
employed the classic Buchla Box 100 analog synthesizer series to
generate its basic materials. Beautiful Soop (1966) is a charming
piece for reciting voices and electronics, incorporating poetic
fantasy texts from classic literature -- The Jabberwocky, excerpts
from Alice in Wonderland and so on. The voices take on a
fantastical aspect when processed through tape-delays (echos and
accumulative modulations), and the voices also are continually
mixed with surrealistic and often humorous electronic sounds from
the legendary (Donald) Buchla Box 100 series of analog synthesizer
modules. After twenty-seven minutes, the fantasy build-up reaches
an engrossing (and to some listeners, ironic) plateau, and the
narrative voice fades, stuck in the repeating groove of a vinyl
record. An unpretentious, enjoyable, yet pioneering work.
