[CP 254 CD] Euskal Musikalarien Uhin Berria, IV Concurso Arpa De Oro
Double-disc set compiling two separate, yet relatable early-70s issues of Avant-Electronic music by (largely) Basque Composers, centering on the work of Antón Larrauri; the tying bridge between both releases...
While the work of Spanish Composers such as Luis De Pablo, Andrés Lewin-Richter, & Eduardo Polonio has been prevalent in the C.P. offerings over the years, there is precious little recorded Experimental & Avant-Electronic music by those from the Basque region, making this set so special. If it were for Larrauri's "Munduak" alone (12 minutes of scraping, echo-laden chaos) this would be worth the price of admission, but given the gamut run from "Live" Electronic excesses, scraping Free Improv & Extended-Technique pieces, and errant Sound Poetry flourishes that dot the proceedings herein, this is an extremely wild ride.
