Some info on the release: Legendary masterpiece of experimental electronics documenting the early electronic period of the 50's from the pioneers of the genre on the Philips Modern Music Series label!! This double album was prepared and realized by the musique concrete pioneer Pierre Henry and produced in his studio Apsome in Paris back in 1962(have a look at my other auctions for more experimental music stuff!!) Ultra deluxe edition with double cover and sevaral pages with information on the inside (book-like). The cover has a pasted picture on the front of a deconstructed violin of Arman.
The celebrated French composer Pierre Henry was among the pivotal forces behind the development of musique concrète, becoming the first formally educated musician to devote his energies to the electronic medium. Born in Paris on December 9, 1927, he began training at the Paris Conservatoire at the age of ten, studying piano under Nadia Boulanger and percussion under Felix Passerone while also attending the classes of Olivier Messiaen. Still, Henry had little regard for traditional musical instruments, preferring instead to privately experiment with non-musical sound sources; over time, he grew fascinated with the notion of incorporating noise into the compositional process, and perhaps unsurprisingly first attracted notice in performing circles for his prowess as a percussionist. One of the first electronic music composers with Richard Maxfield, Tod Dockstader, Trevor Wishart and Luigi Nono, Pietro Grossi, Desmond Leslie ,Pendercki, John Cage and Bernard Parmegiani.
In 1949, Henry joined the staff of the RTF electronic studio, founded by Pierre Schaeffer five years earlier; he soon immersed himself completely in electronic music, heading the Groupe de Researches de Musique Concrète throughout the greater part of the 1950s. In 1952, Henry produced the first musique concrète ever commissioned for commercial films when he scored Jean Grémillon's Astrologie; a year later, at the Donaueschingen Festival, he premiered Orpheé 53, the first musique concrète piece composed for the stage. Henry also frequently collaborated with choreographer Maurice Béjart, a pairing which yielded Le Voyage, 1963's La Reine, 1967's Messe pour le temps présent and 1971's Nijinsky, clown de Dieu — in all, he scored more than 30 films and stage productions during his long career. In 1958, Henry left the RTF, and in 1960 he teamed with Jean Baronnet to found the Apsome-Cabasse Studio, the first private electronic music worskshop in France; concurrent was his realization that for musique concrète to evolve, it would need to begin incorporating the electronic aesthetics pioneered in other areas of the world. In 1969, he premiered Ceremony, which included music by the pop band Spooky Tooth. He has influenced Guy Reibel, Francois Bayle, Ivo Malec and Michel Redolfi, Alain Savouret and Francois-Bernard Mache, Jean Claude-Risset and Jean Schwarz.
During the mid-'70s, Henry's project frequently paid homage to his own inspirations — 1975's Futuriste celebrated the Italian futurist Luigi Russolo and his 1913 work The Art of Noises, while 1979's La Dixieme Symphonie served as a follow-up to Beethoven's nine symphonies. Continuing to work reguarly throughout the years that followed in a vast range of musical contexts — he even collaborated with the American alternative rock trio Violent Femmes — in 1997 Henry completed Interieur/Exterieur, a work commissioned by Radio France which he declared the culmination of his life's work. His influence on contemporary music was underlined by the concurrent release of the LP Metamorphosé which featured remixes of his work by the likes of Coldcut, DJ Vadim, William Orbit, Fatboy Slim and Funki Porcini.
Condition: Cover lies in very good condition, quite influenced by age (see photo), while the vinyls lie in very good condition, quite used, but please note this is a nearly 50 years old album.
