Reviews:

Parmegiani* - De Natura Sonorum - 02-Feb-04 05:49 AM
As the title says, these twelve pieces by Parmegiani are studies of the nature of sounds and their relations to each other. For example, the first piece confronts short and fast percussive events with longer sounds of various resonant bodies; the sixth piece mixes electronically treated sounds of woodwind instruments; the seventh piece explores the resonant capabilities of metallic objects. Although this work is more austere than later works like La création du monde, it might be a good introduction to Parmegianis so varied and fascinating oeuvre.

Marc Monnet - Les Percussions De Strasbourg - Bibilolo - 01-Feb-04 09:05 AM
Bibilolo is performed by the Percussions de Strasbourg, a French ensemble of six percussionists founded in 1961. The whole work is written for six keyboards each made up of 32 captors that are sensitive to attacks. Each keyboard activates a FM synthesizer. The work is therefore a mixture of percussive and electronic sounds (according to the booklet, more than 400 different sounds were used).

Frank Zappa - Jazz From Hell - 05-Jan-04 09:05 AM
In spite of its title, Jazz from Hell is anything but jazz. It rather presents melodies, harmonies and polyrhythmic complexity that are typical for Zappas music. Its not an electronic work in todays sense, but all tracks (except track 7) are made exclusively with a Synclavier, one of the first computer drived synth.
Id like to add that Zappa composed in the sixties some (parodic?) electroacoustic works, which are to listen in his first albums.
