Musique Numérique
Creel Pone treatment of this Private-Press LP of late-70s spectral computer music by Daniel Arfib. Aside from Conrad Cummings’ review of the LP in the fall 1981 issue of Computer Music Journal, I’ve seen nary a mention of Mssr. Arfib’s early Digital …
Le Crabe Qui Jouait Avec La Mer, Conte De Noël
"Le Crabe Qui Jouait Avec La Mer" is a beyoot of a radio-play, based on a short story by Rudyard Kipling, narrated by Jacques Gripel & featuring one of the only full-length bits of Musique Concrète by the ORTF / INA-GRM aligned composer Philippe A…
Trip-Tych
Originally brought to light in 1977 by Serenus - the same folks that unleashed the early Creel Pone “Hit,” “The Inside of the Outside ... or the Outside of the Inside”) this is a fine example of a record that straddles the divide between library-mus…
Herbstpathetique, Bildnis
Issued by the mythical “Musikalische Jugend Österreichs” (the same who bestowed Anestis Logothetis’ “Hör!-Spiel / Nekrologlog 1961 / Fantasmata 1960” LP onto a confused, irradiated public a few years later) in 1972, this, frankly, batshit outing of S…
Parmak Çocuk, Çizmeli Kedi
While there’s no explicit date listed anywhere within, I’m guessing the pair of 45rpm 7”s in question - released only in Turkey - date to the mid-60s, with each featuring Solmaz Sporel reading a different fairly tale over a completely amazing Musique…
Still Life in Concrete
After a fruitful think-tank session (during which a selection of the european faction of the C.P. cognoscenti met in one of Berlin’s seedier bars to brainstorm new “candidates” for inclusion in the series, now in its 8th year) a couple of great title…
La Trilogie de la Montagne
Gorgeous, three-part Musique Concrète suite, composed at McGill's Electronic Music studio during 1977 & 78 by Quebecois composer Michel Longtin, timbrally presaging much of the FM synthesis-laden work of the early 80s & onwards, acting a bridge betwe…
Independent Electronic Music Composer
Now that the Creel-Pone series has reached its teens, its time for an irreverent late-60s blast of heavy Synth-Freakout / Tape-Psych weirdness from this Cicero, Illinois based composer Edward M. Zajda, about whom i can’t find a single bit of infor…
Ze Wörmnest
Lovely. Here’s a Creelpro of Jonas Palm’s 1980 Piglet-label outing “Ze Wörmnest,” widely considered as one of the canonic crater-dwellings of early 80s “Minimal Synth” pedagogy. To wit, here’s a perfectly zenzible stammer by John “Inzane” Olson, re…
Canto Ecuménico/Litania/Homo Sapiens
Composed at the GRM - the two B-side pieces, both in 1972 - & at his own “Private” studio in Porto - the A-side, 1979 - this trilogy of Musique Concrète pieces by the Portugese composer Filipe Pires was initially issued in 1980 as part of Imavox’s “D…
An Electronic Visit To The Zoo, Sound Hypnosis
Closing out a trilogy of releases initially readied by the Harriman, NY powerhouse Spectrum (following the Jack Tamul & William Hoskins titles) is this fantastic set of noisy synthesizer adagios, composed in the late 70s by William Strickland on Moog…
CANTS DEL TROBADORS: «La Doucer D'Un Son Nouvel»
The Ventadoorn label was set up in 1970 & released over 100 LPs & EP's over the following decade, all centering in on some facet of Lenga d'Oc / "Old" French language & culture. Some of you may be familiar with the 1980 Henry Fourès / Luc Ferrari "F…
Iowa Ear Music
This one’s certainly a mold-breaker; closer in spirit to Cage / Tudor’s “Indeterminacy” than the sort of bedroom solo composer / producer / performer LPs that have been the Creel Pone archetype thus far. Improvisors were set up in 4 different isolat…
Musiques de l'O.N.F., Music of the N.F.B.
reproduction of a lovely 1977 double-lp set collecting only the earliest electronic music made in canada; with a majority of pieces remarkably made without the aid of magnetic tape (!?) but directly on optical film... music of the n.f.b. (volume 1)au…
Urvarte - Noir - Blau (electronic music)
There’s not much in the way of documentation on the Early Danish Electronic Music scene other than the Else-Marie Pade, Jørgen Plaetner, and Gunner-Möller Pedersen discs on DaCapo - all fantastic sets full of wonder, but mired in a certain air of gov…
After Guernica
Once again the “boxes from Reykjavik” have started arriving on Thursday mornings like clockwork; let’s start up again not with an outright explosion of lost Tape-Psych damage - to give us all time to recover - but with a rather remarkable set of su…
Omen
Ah, CP #200; never in 12 years did I think we'd make it this far. Those of you keeping count will realize that, despite the catalogue number this is actually the 181st title in the series; that said we're definitely winding down & what a great run …
We (Nosotros) Electronic Music
1969 plunderphonic / Musique Concrète epic from Luis De Pablo, a Madrid-based Composer working out of his own home-studio - referred to in the Hugh Davies catalogue as simply “Madrid (Luis De Pablo.)” I’ve seen a few different versions of this rec…
Tropes on the Salve Regina
I've heard rumo(u)r of the Creel Pone "shortlist"; i.e. the member-curated selection of "candidates" for the Creel Pone treatment, each title nominated then judged according to strict set of attributes found running throughout the series (intangible …
No Imagination
Upon first glance at this Creel Pone reproduction of an obscure 1980 private-press Synth / Art-noise LP - originally issued on “Vinyl Records” - two things caught my attention: the phrases “Electronic Instruments designed by: Serge Tcherepnin” & “Spe…
