Vier Stücke des französischen Komponisten, der Naturaufnahmen, Instrumentenklänge und Stimme mit neuartigen Computertechniken bearbeitet hat, um damit bis in Herz des Klangs vorzudringen. Herausgekommen sind dabei z.T. absolut erstaunliche Frequenzmodulationen und komplex-konkrete Soundgebilde, v.a. eindrucksvoll umgesetzt bei dem fast 24minütigen SUD.
“...There are scientific or musicological explanations of his methods to be read in the booklet, but they cannot in any way get close to describing the magic sensual motion/emotion of the piece, as it reflects worlds that can’t be viewed directly; worlds that can only be sensed in the corner of one’s eye, at moments of bliss when you’re not aware, when you travel in absentmindedness, in inward thoughts; a world of the little ones and the invisible ones, the goblins, the elves, the fairies and the myriad of beings that we do not have any names for, which we will never encounter, save through the sonic/luminary reflections of indirectness that art works like Sud offers the sensitive one.
The ringing of bells without the attack – the lingering afterglow of bells, swarming, soaring – and the wondrous overtones of oceanic waves, pitched down slowly in glissandi that shine and glitter – and this peaceful swell of water on the rocks of a shore…
Risset merges the concrete with the synthesized in a glaring tour-de-force of sonic wizardry – and I almost fall prey to stating that this is the best piece of electroacoustics ever made; a startling achievement, awesome!” [Sonoloco review about SUD]
Including booklet with liner-notes in french, english and german!
