Sweden’s Åke Parmerud has assembled four acousmatic works dating between 1990 and 1995 on a must-have collection of out-of-print recordings. (Acousmatic is an electroacoustic subgenre composed for presentation with speakers rather than live instruments.)

These powerful, sometimes disturbing recordings all date back to the mid-1990s. Thematically and artistically, each has maintained extraordinary relevance.

“Fascinating.”

Noise Not Music

Bad Alchemy

“Der 1953 geborene Åke Parmerud, einer der Großen der schwedischen Elektroakustik, hat zuletzt bei Growl (2015) und bei Nécropolis (2016) seine Faszination für Organic Machines und Electric Birds gezeigt.”
