Ruth White: Flowers Of Evil (1969 electronic setting of the poems of Charles Baudelaire). Limelight LS-86066

Scarce 1969 lp in impossible-to-find still sealed condition with musique concrete versions of Baudelaire's surreal experimental poetry. This wild early electronic work features tape-manipulated Moog synthesizer sounds, field recordings, and the composer's own heavily processed, cut-up, and multitracked voice reciting English translations of the poems. White writes that she is attempting in this work "to parallel the transcendental qualities of the poetry through electronic means... I always found that the dominating power of Baudelaire's ideas were in themselves of electrifying force."

White is an American early electronic composer with her own private studio who released several experimental and pop electronic records in the 1960s and also made many children's educational recordings. This work compares to Pierre Henry, Joan La Barbara, Morton Subotnick, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Douglas Leedy, Mort Garson, Bruce Haack, Michel Philippot, Philippe Arthuys, Francois Bernard Mache, Francois Bayle, Bernard Parmegiani...
