Label: Creel Pone

イタリアはピサにて1965年に設立されたコンピューターセンター"CNUCE"。主に自国の電子音楽パイオニアPietro Grossiの諸作を出版した伝説的なセンターであり、本作は1978年に2LPフォーマットで発表したPietro Grossiおよび様々な作曲家のデジタル合成サウンドの研究を纏めたV.A作[Computer Music]。バッハ、ヘンデル、スカルラッティ、バルトーク、ウェーベルンらの楽曲をコンピューターで演奏、それらを奇妙に解体したり不穏な電子音とミックスするピュアな面白実験が満載の内容。6パネルのスリーヴに2枚のディスクを封入。





This was the 27th of the ca. 2003 "Proto Creel Pone" titles, covering a 1978 "Private" issue by the Pisa-based CNUCE (Centro Nazionale Universitario di Calcolo Elettronico) "Istituto Di Elaborazione Dell'Informazione" offering the center's historic research in Digitally-Synthesized sound. This was the spark that led to the discovery of so much early Italian Computer Music (later on there was the [CP 040-041-041.5 CD] Pietro Grossi set) and much like said there is a bizarre mix of lightning-speed circuit-board fritz cut with aternatingly faithful & bizarrely deconstructed readings of pieces by Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, Bartok, Webern, Scarlatti, and the like. Features several C.P. -adjacent figures such as Albert Mayr, Teresa Rampazzi, Tommaso Bolognesi, Alfonso Belfiore, and Grossi himself (whose own compositions tend to the former).

This replica edition comes as two discs housed in a six-panel booklet (with extended liners notes in both Italian & English in the inner "Gatefold") & offers a king's ransom in early low-bit crunch from the undisputed masters of the form.
