Zwei Stücke vom noch fast unentdeckten Elektronik / Experimental-Sound Pionier RAMON SENDER, Weggefährte von PAULINE OLIVEROS & MORTON SUBOTNICK: Das Tape-Stück “Kore” (1962) mit elektronischen Sinus-Ton-Kaskaden, Loops und Phasen-verschiebungen, “Desert Ambulance” (1964, für & mit PAULINE OLIVEROS) mischt musikalische & cut-up found-sounds und ihre live dazu eingespielten instrumentellen Akkordeon-Klänge in stetig auf- und abwallender Bewegung und Dynamik. Nummerierte Auflage 500 Stück.

“ ‘A vehicle of mercy sent out into the wasteland of academic modern music’ [Ramon Sender] : 'Here we have a gem for fans of early electronic music, sound art, & fluxus antics. Desert Ambulance is another dip into the playfully enigmatic tom foolery of senor Sender following last year's acclaimed droner Worldfood. Kore' (1962, dedicated to his daughter Xaverie, 1955-1989) is another classic unearthing of squiggly & eerie tape manipulation cut in the small attic studio Ramon put together at the Tape Music Center in 1962. Side B is the long anticipated release of his best known work - 1964's Desert Ambulance - composed for Pauline Oliveiros. Strictly limited edition vinyl only release with hand pasted covers boasting a still from Tony Martin's visual abstract projections from the Desert Ambulance performance.” [label info]
