Label: Creel Pone

拡張版が登場!!イリノイ大学で教授を務めた作曲家Salvatore Martiranoの69年名作[L's GA • Ballad • Octet]。こちらも以前単体でCD-R化されていましたが、本作は新たに67年[Electronic Music From The University Of Illinois]、66年[David Burge Plays New Piano Music]、74年[From The University Of Iow]、様々なV.Aへの参加音源を追加した大幅拡張版。なんと言っても24分の大作[For gassed-masked politico helium bomb]が強烈。地響きボイスが徐々に雑音へと姿を変え悪夢の音響へと変貌。凄まじい音像です。





September 2024; much needed top-up on this great, early Creel Pone classic, here adding the entirety of the "Electronic Music From The University Of Illinois" set (Heliodor #HS-25047, 1967; featuring pieces by Lejaren Hiller, Kenneth Gaburo, Charles Hamm, Herbert Brün, and of course Marto's epic side-length Free-Jazz Noise-Blast-laden "Underworld [1965]") along with his pieces from the "David Burge Plays New Piano Music" (Advance #FGR-3, 1966) & "From The University Of Iowa" (Composers Recordings Inc. #CRI SD 324, 1974) sets to the end of Disc 1 (and... for no particular reason other than that it slays & fits nicely, saving us from compiling it elsewhere: Peter Tod Lewis' piece "Gestes" from the latter CRI title at the tail-end of Disc 2!)

This wasted slab of late-60s Aggro-Politco Tape-Collage sentiment is held in only the highest regard by yours truly, up there with Mimaroglu’s “Sing Me a Song of Songmy” in it’s blending of era topics and psychotropic noise; I’ve described and/or recommended this record to many folks over the years, always making a point to mention that is consists almost entirely of slowed down screaming. It - again - just has to be heard to be believed.
