Label: Creel Pone

2017年に他界、ドイツの著名な音楽教育者でもあるWolfgang Jehnが残した傑作即興電子音楽がCreel Poneに登場。氏が70年代にパートナーのMargareteと共に運営したプライベートレーベルEresより出版した音源であり、正確なリリース年は不明な激レア作。タイトル通りドラムとエレクトロニクスによるコンポジションをそれぞれ5曲ずつ収録、ミニマルなブリープサウンド、点描パーカッション、ナイトメアなテープループといった、シンプルな表現にのみ終始した面白教育音源。



Wonderful "Midline" replica edition of this beguiling set of Electronically charged Free Improvsations by the storied Music Educator Wolfgang Jehn, issued on the "Private" Eres-Edition imprint he ran during the 70s w/ his partner Margarete.

Consisting of a side-length suite of 5 pieces executed twice (with striking differences; essentially a "Dub" mix w/ added drumming, then a "Dry" one of just the electronics) the figures here run the gamut from Crackling Synth Automations, Minimal Bleep & Pointillist Percussion figures, Demonic Ruth White (see: [CP-047-072 CD]) -esque Vocal Miasma w/ atonal Tape Music filigree, Free Improv abandon, a single spry Library-Music etude, & finally an "Underwater" piece ala Knud Viktor (see: [CP 100-101 CD]) this has been long on the C.P. Cabal's radar until a copy fortuitously landed on our lap a few months back!

Six panel "Glossy" booklet covers all of the relevant details & context, with the inner three panels offering a "Blow-Up" of the tiny texts on the cover/rear.
