新たな拡張版仕様2CD-R！！ルーマニア以外では殆ど知られていないらしいブカレスト出身の作曲家Nicolae Brinduの86年LP。自国ルーマニアの4名のコンダクターによるアンサンブル録音が収録されており、なんとイアンク・ドゥミトレスクのハイペリオン・アンサンブルも参加。フォーク/トラッドのコラージュ、騒音、悍ましいボイスなど、とにかくナイトメアな多層的構築がヤバ過ぎる大名作。同じルーマニアの激レア盤[Recital De Clarinet]を追加収録。



Nicolae Brînduș was born in Bucharest in 1935 and swiftly matriculated through his studies in Piano & Composition at the National University of Music before embarking on the life-changing seminars at the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Darmstadt throughout the late 60s & early 70s; even working at IRCAM for a spell in the mid-1980s.

How this formative music, composed & recorded largely during his Darmstadt phase, has remained so relatively unknown is insane to me; it has all of the hallmarks of the exact configuration of elements that we hold dear: excessive use of gain, tape-speed effects and dozens of sound-on-sound layerings of acoustic instrumentation, errant electronics, & even extra-musical materials. There's something just so indefinably off-the-rails about it all, and this extends through all four pieces; careening, energetic tape assemblage with little to no compare.

These are absolutely spellbinding, clangorous pile-ups rivaling Anestis Logothetis at his most wild & woolly, the discovery of which led to a thorough investigation down through the deepest recesses / wormholes of the Electrecord catalogue, which unearthed a veritable treasure trove of amazing work, all virtually unknown outside of Romania, with several titles yet to come across this 23x sub-series. Hold on to your hats...
