Andrés Lewin Richter, Anna Ricci

Early 80’s issue on nice laminated cover from Lewin-Richter’s mid to late 70’s pieces, many of them written specially for sorprano Anna Ricci. From pure electronic sounds, to deeply treated vocal bits via tape collage and sound poetry. Covert artwork is a painting by Ernesto Fontecilla.
Incorporating a wide range of source materials (aside from Ricci’s operatic & at times psychedelic splendor, we’re treated to the sounds of the baschet instruments on “Baschetiada,” a plunderphonic reworking of Wagner on “Wagler Walricci,” and all kinds of synthesized & processed noises available to Richter via the classic 60’s “tape studio” toolkit :: primitive oscillator / synthesizer / filter topologies, ring modulation & gating circuits, and possibly the spring-iest spring reverb i’ve heard on record) the pieces herein tend towards the alien & otherwordly, with a generally drenched & distant fidelity adding a murky, dark charm to the proceedings, recalling André Almuro’s similarly-hued, contemporaneous work at the GRM.
