Necessary assortment of electroacoustic, tape collage, environmental tape pieces with use of sampled voices and experimental techniques.
Some info on the release: Really insane electronics / tape collage release with sampled voices (Larynx Music), full of experimental techniques from american composer Eric Salzman released on Ilhan Mimaroglu's Finnadar label (John Cage, Jean Dubuffet, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Edgard Varese, Boguslaw Schaffer, Marcel Duchamp, Frederic Rzewski, Morton Feldman, Vladimir Ussachevsky, etc.) Highest recommendation for electronic music freaks and not only.
Composer/writer Eric Salzman, one of the founders of the new music theater, is the creator or co-creator of more than two-dozen music-theater pieces for stage, recordings and media and a major figure world-wide in the field. His work is innovative, involving new vocal techniques and electronic extensions, pluralistic styles and forms, as well as new media technologies. His extensive writings include the first survey in English of the new music theater, a well-known book on 20th century music and writings on a wide variety of artistic and natural history subjects. Salzman was born in New York City on September 8, 1933 and was educated at Forest Hills High School, Columbia University where he studied with Vladimir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening and Jack Beeson; B.A. 1954), Princeton University (studies with Roger Session and Milton Babbitt; M.F.A. 1956), Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Rome (Fulbright Scholarship 1956-58; studies with Goffredo Petrassi), Darmstadt Ferienkurse (1957; studies with Hermann Scherchen, Luigi Nono, Bruno Maderna and Karlheinz Stockhausen).
Earlier work includes The Nude Paper Sermon (texts by Steven Wade and John Ashbery; Nonesuch Records commission with Stacy Keach; conducted by Joshua Rifkin), Foxes and Hedgehogs (text by John Ashbery; performed in London by Pierre Boulez and the BBC Symphony, Lukas Foss and the Brooklyn Philharmonic and by Dennis Russell Davies and the Julliard Ensemble). Can Man Survive?, a multi-media environmental work on the environment for the centennial of the American Museum of Natural History, was on display there for two years (1969-71). Other work includes Wiretap, Ecolog (created for public television; also performed by Pierre Boulez and the NY Philharmonic's Prospective Encounters), The Peloponnesian War (a full-evening solo dance work by Daniel Nagrin), Voices, Helix and Biograffiti (with Quog Music Theater) and six music-theater works with Michael Sahl (The Conjurer; Stauf; Civilization and Its Discontents; Noah; The Passion of Simple Simon; and Boxes), all performed in New York's off-Broadway theaters and recorded for public radio. Wiretap was recorded by Finnadar Records and Civilization and Its Discontents by Nonesuch. Civilization and Its Discontents and Boxes both received major theater awards. Ecolog with Quog Music Theater and visual artist Jackie Cassen and Feedback with visual artist Stan Vanderbeek both exist in video versions and have been broadcast on public television.
Salzman's work has also been performed by Victoria Bond, Igor Kipnis, Alan Titus, Philip Langridge, Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Quog Music Theater, the American Music Theater Festival, the Center for Contemporary Opera, La Mama, Theater for a New City, the British Broadcasting Company, the Canadian Broadcasting Company, NewOp and many other organizations in North America and Europe.
