Description
Here's a record album from JIM FASSETT titled SYMPHONY OF THE BIRDS. This is an original pressing released on the Ficker Records label, C-1002.
"Jim Fassett is celebrated among experimental music enthusiasts for his 1960 masterpiece Symphony of the Birds, which fused the principles of the symphonic idiom with the practices of musique concrète to forge a complex, otherworldly sound assembled entirely from ornithological field recordings.
Fassett teamed with CBS technician Mortimer Goldberg to create Symphony of the Birds, which painstakingly assembled bird call recordings compiled by ornithologists Jerry and Norma Stilwell -- the two men re-recorded the bird calls on tapes at varying speeds, then superimposed multiple playbacks on one tape reel to create the album's dense, swirling sound, which Fassett organized into three separate movements in adherence to symphonic traditions."
Cover has bumped corners, a little edge scuffing, and a few scratches and light stain near the back bottom left corner. Record looks virtually unplayed with a few very light sleeve scuffs. Vinyl is in NEAR MINT CONDITION.
