Now I want to hear the 72-hour version!
On the same record, there's also "Water Music"
I'm interested in these composer dudes who just do one or two or maybe three tape / electronic pieces - and then revert to the orchestral / choral palette.
Takemitsu also did this electro-acoustic piece - harp + tape
Other dabblers include Ligeti, Boulez, and Henri Sauguet, who did just the one concrete piece, among my absolute favorite pieces of electronic music ever
Wonder why Kubrick didn't use either of these in 2001?
Boulez bits:
And this job has some tape in amidst the tiddlybonk
What disinclined these chaps from going any further?
Ligeti expressed frustration: ""I am in a prison. One wall is the avant-garde; the other is the past. I want to escape."
Yet according to this liner note chappie, Ligeti had mastered how to express emotion through tape rather than the usual gimmickry and discontinuous sound-events
