Αυτό ήταν αύριο
only and only concrete composition by this Greek-born composer-ess
shame as it's superb
in fact it appears her only composition at all - even bigger shame then
another one-off out of the GRM stable
(but someone with a more extensive non-electronic / non-tape oeuvre)
is this lovely piece of music which would be in my Top 10 electronic works i think
so magical

there's no business
"Showbiz for showbiz's sake more than anything. I think I'm just taking it back to cabaret" - Gary Numan
listen for the Avalanches sample
not much sadder than a Kid Creole album after they left ZE

then and now
1978
both from 2017
(the second one is actually by Mr Foetus, aka Thirlwell, funnily enough)
i feel that we have reached peak electronic
so much - it turns out, as the reissue / archival-exhumation industry is showing on multiple fronts from avant-garde composition to New Age - was done already, in the sixties, seventies, eighties
so much is currently being redone - the same ground endlessly criss-crossed, exacerbated and amplified maximalism style
what's odd is the current product still manages to trigger the faintest of future-shock feelings

Zanesi does it, does it every time

Spoerri of destiny
odd beguiling combo of the out-there and the once-was-"with it"
digging these warmly amusing electronic miniatures
this next one, really, rather eerie
yodel-tronica!
spacey
synth-sax
huh?
need to give this a relisten one of these days
the man tells his story
