Style: Musique Concrte, Experimental, Sound Collage

Ultra-rare sound poetry / musique concrete release originally on the legendary Belgian Igloo label from Switzerland-born violinist, poet and painter Arthur Ptronio. Petronios take on sound poetry embarks a fair deal of musique concrte, tape collages, primitive sound effects and noise, especially on Tellurgie (1964) and Cosmosmose (1968). Petronios sound art is thus well balanced between musique concrte and sound poetry. These are home recordings on less than professional equipment, though, and some unwanted noises show up, especially in #3. Several female readers/performers contribute to this theater of voices as guest vocalists, in addition to Petronios voice…Huge tip for fans of Francois Dufrene, Graham Lambkin, Hans Krusi, Amnon Raviv +++ (Mint / New)
