RE-UP oct 2012 RICCARDO SINIGAGLIA - WATERTUBE RINGSPIEL (1984)

ADN TAPES 14 - cassette
thanks wikipedia : "Born 1953, Riccardo Sinigaglia is an architect as well as musician. He teaches electronic music at Milan Conservatory. He collaborates with the video center of the Faculty of Architecture, Milan University, where he lectures on the relationship between music and image.
His work is based on modes, mean tone, pythagorean scales and complex polyrhythmics: he is deeply involved in ethnomusicology, the elements of which are revisited and employed in his musical language.
In the 80s, together with Walter Maioli and Gabin Dabiré, he founded the group Futuro Antico, a cross between electronic and ethno shamanic music. In 1985 he founded with Mario Canali, the audio-visual art group Correnti Magnetiche (http://www.aec.at/en/archives/prix_archive/prix_projekt.asp?iProjectID=2409) beginning to work with digital system."

THIRD EAR BAND - NEW FORECAST FROM THE THIRD EAR ALMANAC (1990)

ADN - RECO1 - cassette
Live recording in Sarzana (SP), Italy, at 'Teatro Impavidi', January 11, 1989

allmusic says : Although they were loosely affiliated with the British progressive rock scene of the late '60s and early '70s, Third Ear Band was in some ways more of an experimental ensemble performing contemporary compositional work.
For one thing, they didn't use electric instruments, or even guitars, instead employing violin, viola, oboe, cello, and hand percussion. More important, they didn't play conventional rock "songs." They featured extended instrumental pieces that often built up from a drone, or hypnotic pattern, to a dense, raga-like crescendo, somewhat in the manner of some of Terry Riley's work.

wikipedia says : Third Eard Band plays an improvised music drawing on Eastern raga forms, European folk, experimental and medieval influences. They recorded their first session in 1968 for Ron Geesin which was released under the pseudonym of The National-Balkan Ensemble.
Their first actual album, Alchemy, was released on the Harvest label in 1969, (featuring John Peel playing Jew's Harp on one track). They recorded in 1971 the soundtrack for Roman Polanski's Macbeth.
After various later incarnations and albums they finally disbanded in 1993.

RE-POST/THE RESIDENTS - THE WARNER BROS. ALBUM


In 1971 the group sent a reel-to-reel tape to Hal Halverstadt, who worked with Captain Beefheart, at Warner Brothers. Because the band had not included any name in the return address, the rejection slip was simply addressed to "The Residents". The members of the group then decided that this would be the name they would use, first becoming Residents Unincorporated, then shortening it to the current name.
Tonight, they will play in Paris and I'll be there !

alice news: Rainier Lericolais' exhibition in Chamarande


RAINIER LERICOLAIS : au château et dans la chapelle
Du 24 octobre 2010 au 27 février 2011
Du mercredi au dimanche, de 12h à 17h

VERNISSAGE DIMANCHE 24 OCTOBRE 2010 à 15h30

"Sans être une rétrospective, l'exposition de Rainier Lericolais propose de découvrir l'ensemble des facettes de son travail. L'artiste présente de nouvelles oeuvres et des dispositifs qui révèlent au public le champ de ses propres références.
La bibliothèque se transforme en un cabinet de curiosités dans lequel se dévoile son univers personnel -livres, disques, petits objets et sculptures. Elle côtoie un salon de "dessins" -de tous formats et de toutes techniques- qui vient rivaliser avec l'accumulation de "dépeintures" du grand escalier. Dans ce parcours, des installations, fortement ancrées dans un univers musical, habitent le lieu de manière plus sculpturale.

À l'instar des procédés d'un savant ou d'un chimiste, les oeuvres de Rainier Lericolais relèvent d'expériences mystérieuses voire de la magie. En effet, retracer les cheminements de création ou deviner les étapes préalables à leur réalisation peut se révéler fascinant dans l'approche des réalisations de l'artiste : les oeuvres "en soi" agissent sur le spectateur avec "un certain magnétisme", remarque Didier Arnaudet (Artpress, n°286, janvier 2003).

Car, en musicien qu'il est, Rainier Lericolais "sample" les idées et les matériaux. Il improvise à partir de ce qui fonde "sa" propre culture ; il mixe et re-combine formes ou images à l'infini, au gré de ses influences, de ses rencontres et de ses envies d'expérimentations techniques. Protéiforme, le travail de l'artiste s'exprime dans des oeuvres avant tout graphiques, élégantes et précaires.

Il puise par ailleurs son inspiration dans une culture musicale encyclopédique et dans une approche de la littérature et de l'art, à la fois pleine de curiosité et d'éclectisme. Il donne à voir une oeuvre sophistiquée et légère.
Tour à tour, il rend hommage aux pionniers du cinéma expérimental, aux musiciens et interprètes reconnus ou encore à des labels musicaux plus confidentiels, ceux d'une "contre-culture" qu'il partage avec nombre de créateurs de sa génération.

Communiqué de presse
Au-delà des apparences et de l'imagerie qu'il choisit aussi pour sa beauté, l'artiste -avec sa prédilection pour les matériaux "low tech"- sert un projet rigoureux où se croisent des expérimentations de médiums très divers. On découvre ainsi des dessins réalisés au pistolet à colle, des images de magazines "dépeintes" (imprimées puis "retouchées" avec de l'eau ou du trichloréthylène), des oscillogrammes découpés au cutter dans du carton, des photographies prises d'un écran de télévision au moment où celui-ci s'éteint ou encore des images réalisées à
partir du reflet piégé de la lumière d'un scanner.
Dans cette démarche d'expérimentation lucide et construite, le hasard n'est bien sûr pas étranger. En témoignent les dessins et gravures réalisés par "contact" (frottages, grattages) ou les recherches "improbables" qui permettent à Rainier Lericolais de tester la matière, notamment avec un bronze réalisé à partir de paraffine solidifiée dans le mouvement de l'eau avant d'être moulée. Enfin, ce que l'artiste nomme lui-même les "petites solutions" sont des procédés qu'il invente ou éprouve avec ingéniosité, et qui assure à l'ensemble de son œuvre une indéniable cohérence."

TREVOR WISHART - TONGUES OF FIRE (1994)

Orpheus The Pantomime - OTP001
Trevor Wishart (born 11 October 1946) is an English composer, based in York who has contributed to composing with digital audio media, both fixed and interactive. He has also written extensively on the topic of what he terms “sonic art,” and contributed to the design and implementation of software tools used in the creation of digital music. Wishart's compositional interests deal mainly with the human voice. This is most evident in his VOX Cycle, Tongues of Fire, Globalalia, Two Women, and American Triptych. He is also an improvisor of extended vocal techniques. (wikipedia)
Tongs of Fire was realised almost entirely on a low cost home computer using software developed by the composer and other participants in the Composers Desktop Project. The final mixdown was planned at the GMEB (Groupe de Musique Expérimental de Bourges, a collective of composers linked with the electro-acoustic & acousmatic research) studio in Bourges, France. The first public performance took place at the 1994 Synthese festival in Bourges.

ANDRÉ ALMURO - POÉSIE DE LA CRUAUTÉ (1966)

Disques Mouloudji - EMZ13514
André Almuro (1927-2009) was a painter, poet and composer, member of the Pierre Schaeffer's GRM and friend of the french surrealist scene. He composed some of the best radio-adaptations of french litterature (Artaud, Genet, Hugo for example).
He worked with Mouloudji (political singer, Boris Vian's collaborator) and discovered the young Pierre Clémenti before he became the french cinema's black star.
More information above (from the Almuro's Facebook page).
In this record, Almuro composed the music for the texts by Antonin Artaud, Jean Genet, Jean Cocteau, Federico Garcia Lorca and himself.
