here's possibly... ah hell it is the best looking creel
pone yet (thanks to an extended spec and much nicer
print-stock) - a reproduction of a 1979 victor label
reissue of a 1975 lp on the legendary alm label featuring a
series of short tape music experiments, recorded between
1963 and 1966 by matsuo ono, with assistance from none
other than takeisha kosugi. the artwork and libretto on the
lp are full of references to ôatomö (better known to
westerners as ôastro boyö), a mid-60s japanese cartoon to
which many of these tape-sounds were used as sound effects
and incidental music... pretty incredibly given how zonked
& explosion-oriented these short pieces are.
the whole thing comes across as an earlier, analog version
of jean-claude rissetÆs catalogue of computerized sound
synthesis (i.e. each cue is announced beforehand by a
loud/distorted japanese voice solely in the right/left
channel.) as the record progresses, the jabs get longer and
longer, until morphing into a suite of fully realized,
multi edit-per-second blasts & cosmic drift that rival only
the earliest wdr & ina-grm lineage tape-music etudes. one
of the key pieces historical japanese electronic music
puzzle, entirely fantastic & completely necessary...
