David Behrman's album Wave Train Music From 1959 To 1968 is a remarkable collection of experimental music that showcases the artist's innovative approach to sound and composition. The album features a range of recordings made between 1959 and 1968, highlighting Behrman's early work as a composer and performer.

The tracks on the album are a mix of electronic and acoustic pieces, with Behrman employing a range of instruments and techniques to create a unique and compelling sound. From the haunting, ethereal tones of "On the Other Ocean" to the playful, bouncy rhythms of "Runthrough," the album is a testament to Behrman's versatility and creativity.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Canons," a mesmerizing piece of music that builds slowly and steadily, layering sounds and textures to create a complex and intricate sonic landscape. Another highlight is "Leapday Night," a playful and whimsical piece that features a range of unusual sounds and effects.

Comments

«Runthrough» («Прогон», 1967–1968) Дэвида Бермана — это импровизация для четырех исполнителей. Двое работают с настройками и переключателями, которые контролируют звуковые генераторы и модуляторы. Другие двое освещают фонариками фоторезисторы, помещенные в жестянки, распределяя звук на четыре колонки, расставленные по концертному пространству. Фоторезистор, типа того, что приводит в действие сигнал тревоги, если взломщик задевает пучок света, — это полупроводник, который теряет сопротивление под воздействием света. Фоторезисторы находились в жестянках из–под супа «Campbell’s». Исполнители направляли свет фоанриков в жестянки, и звук кружил на разной скорости по всему пространству. Два исполнителя контролируют распределение звуков, двое других — сами звуки. Дэвид разработал и построил свою собственную систему из компонентов, которые можно было найти в коммерчески доступных синтезаторах того времени: осцилляторы синусоидальных, импульсных волн и волн с нарастающей амплитудой, регулируемые усилители и кольцевые модуляторы. Система Дэвида создана под конкретное музыкальное произведение и не предназначена для широкого круга потребителей. Она звучит лучше, чем синтезаторы, которые продаются в магазинах. Это дело рук мастера.
VERY GOOD
on second glance the abstract painting looks a blow-up of microscopic bacteria
"Homemade synthesizers and photo- sensitive mixers put the controls in the hands of musicians and non-musicians alike. This work was a breakthrough for soldering composers and improvised electronic music and was also one of the earliest interactive works, of which Tudor’s Rainforest IV is the hallmark." (From the book "Electronic and Experimental Music" by Thom Holmes)

merci beaucoup. le percussionniste est christoph caskel.
Totally unparalleled atmosphere ❤️?
Cosmic? Gorgeous? These echoes of darkness which inhabit us and which we deny, reminiscences of time immemorial where Lilith - before Eve - consoled Adam, voice of the splendid Nature that the proud bipeds despise unjustly, lyrical lament of organs abandoned in ruined chapels. The unfolding of these melodies delivers us a moment from our chains and delights the soul by propelling it into dionysiac dens resplendent with chaos where the devils laugh at the sour Reason who goes grumbling ?
Song, I hate you. Nothing personal.
i am the like number one hundred
so good
