Label: Creel Pone

1982年に他界したアメリカのコンポーザーにして電子音楽家John Watts。氏が個人名義で残していた知られざる2枚の名作LPがCreel Pone編集版としてCD-Rで登場。タイトル通り薬物中毒者のレポートを電子音楽的アプローチで仕上げたものであり、恐ろしい現場録音に合わせ不穏なARPシンセのサウンドが並走するというマニアック過ぎる内容。79年発表の[The Music Of John Watts Volume 1]では、ARPシンセによる複雑なレイヤー持続音とソプラノボーカルを軸とした作品を披露。





July 2022; for the 15th entrant in the 199.XX series, the C.P. P.T.B. have compiled two titles featuring the Avant-Electronic work of John Everett Watts, Jr.: his 1979 Serenus (see [CP 018 CD] more more Serenus goodness) "The Music Of John Watts Volume 1" collection (covering, largely, his Electro-Acoustic work in the interim years) presaged by an amazing 1972 "Scare You Straight" affair named "Report: Drug Addiction - A View From The Belly" on which Watts' apropos Arp gurgles score the grisly proceedings (couldn't resist giving you the full monty here; as sensible as it would have been to excised the abstract synth miniatures from the whole, TBH the audio documentation aspect is easily one of the most transgressive aspect here, rife with strung-out teenagers cursing out their parents, etc.)
