Label: INA-GRM – 9101 BA Series: Série Gramme Format: Vinyl, LP, Reissue Country: France Released: 1980 Genre: Electronic Style: Musique Concrète
DNA-altering electro-acoustic wizardry meticulously constructed by musique concrète deity François Bayle for the influential Parisian INA-GRM research lab.A-side piece ‘Tremblement De Terre Très Doux’ (very mild earthquake?) is cut from the same cloth as the later Erosphèrerelease, alternating between a dream sequence of torrential tonal blips ’n blops and soft, mollifying drones cut with tele-zoomed sound fragments of what feels like the sonic properties of marbles or some sort of spherical objects being refracted.I stand by my theory that Bayle is actually trying to communicate with some sort of extra-terrestrial entities of a much-higher intelligence with this stuff - it feels like it could be the sonic backdrop to the infamous DMT elf space described by psychonaut Terrance McKenna - it’s self-morphing geometric fractals just too intense for our mere brains to process.The other side piece ‘Trois Rêves D'oiseau’ is equally hallucinogenic albeit with a tougher, collagey approach, exploring and augmenting the sonic properties of natural sounds with a feel of unpredictability.The best night in you could ever have..(NM/NM - with insert, fancy fold out sleeve)
