ANTHOLOGY OF EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FROM LATIN AMERICA

If nothing else, the ongoinng Sound Mapping Project from Unexplained Sounds Group has established that excellent experimental music can be found in every populated geography on the planet. We should all know that intuitively, but at this point there is no counterargument (Avant Music News).

Italy’s Unexplained Sounds label specialises in international experimental compilations. Anthology Of Experimental Music From Latin America is among the label’s most compelling collections (The Wire Magazine).
 
Also available in the 12 cds nice price Sound Mapping bundle, alongside music from Middle East, Africa and Europe:

Topology of light III

genera: “active observation”

Luca Venitucci: “A settembre di due anni fa ho scritto ad Ermanno Baron che avrei voluto fargli una proposta indecente, quella di un gruppo con cui lavorare insieme su alcune mie idee musicali. Era il primo nucleo di quello che con l’ingresso di Dario Miranda è poi diventato Genera.
E davvero indecentemente allettante era per me la prospettiva di aprire a orecchie, teste, mani e sensibilità che non fossero la mia un percorso di ricerca sui confini tra improvvisazione e forma organizzata che per anni ho condotto in solitudine, diciamo quasi in segretezza. E lo era anche l’idea di un progetto in cui dare finalmente il giusto spazio al pianoforte, che è poi il mio primo strumento.
Abbiamo passato diversi mesi a sperimentare per poi incidere quasi di getto. È stato davvero un processo di apprendimento per prove ed errori in cui abbiamo scoperto cosa fare senza consultare un libretto di istruzioni.
Il titolo dell’album e dei brani esprimono precisamente questa condizione di indagine sul campo dagli esiti imprevedibili, che è stata ed è sia la nostra come trio che quella mia personale di vita di questi ultimi due anni”.

Active Observation esce oggi in digitale e su tutte le piattaforme e dalla settimana prossima sarà disponibile in cd.

“octalogue”: new album from nula

As the wind blows through the surrounding steppe, precisely carved holes in the menhirs of Karahunj (“the speaking stones”) make eerie whistling sounds. The ancient stone circle lies in the lowlands of southern Armenia.

automatismes sonores / léo kupper. 1961-1971

Born in Eastern Belgium during 1935, Leo Kupper studied musicology at the Liège Conservatory, before becoming Henri Pousseur’s assistant at the newly formed Apelac Studio in Brussels in 1958. It was there that he began composing, eventually leading to the founding of his own studio, the Studio de Recherches et de Structurations Electroniques Auditives, in 1967, as well as the construction of numerous specialized instruments of his own design that would help sculpt his signature sound over the years to come. Among these was his GAME machine – Générateur Automatique de Musique Electronique (Automatic Generator of Electronic Music), and his Sound Domes, which transformed the sounds of the audience, via hundreds of loudspeakers, into sonic spaces of contemplation that attempted to bend space and time. Working meticulously at a slow pace, over the course of roughly 30 years, he composed around 35 pieces of electronic music, vocal and instrumental music, as well as midi and computer music.
