Liselotte Weiss - Piano Works [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/01/1994

Om made history from 1972 to 1982 combining the energy of rock music with the power of free improvisation. With enormous vitality they bring together the experiences of a young generation electrified by Jimi Hendrix, fascinated by John Coltrane and inspired by free jazz. Om introduced rock music into spontaneous musical processes with uncertain endings. InchElectroAcoustiCoreInch is what the iconic band calls their music. In 2022, Om celebrated it's 50th anniversary with the album called 50. One month before it's , Fredy Studer passed away. InchIn the spirit of survival, Om carried on, touring to support 50 and adding two drummers to fill the titan Studer's shoes,Inch writes Kurt Gottschalk in the liner notes, adding InchOm steps into it's second demi-siècle as an energetic and insightful outfit.Inch On Südpol, long-time members Urs Leimgruber, Christy Doran and Bobby Burri are joined by master percussionists Gerry Hemingway and Tony Buck. The journey goes on!

Sam Dunscombe writes InchThis marks Volume 4 in Mode's Radulescu Edition. The three works on this explore different aspects of Radulescu's theory of Sound Plasma as it evolved over the course of the 1970s, from Radulescu's early to middle periods. Capricorn's Nostalgic Crickets (1972) presents a simple pulse of spectrally dense sound events, described in the composer's own words as a InchPULSE-TIDE of MUSIC and SILENCE.Inch The seven clarinetists should transcend their instrumental selves, coming together to evoke the sounds of the natural world - the timbres of electronic music, the magical and phonetic aspects of language, even other instruments. This is to be done in the most fluid way possible, never dwelling on any one interaction but rather creating a sense of a whole universe of sounds constantly evolving and decaying. Small Infinities' Togetherness (1972) is the shimmering articulation of a single sound spectrum (that of a low 'D') that shifts between harmonicity and inharmonicity, spectral narrowness and spectral width. The version presented on this album features two archival recordings of Radulescu playing organ (the original tape from Fountains of My Sky) and synthesiser (initially intended as a backing track for a duo version with Fernando Grillo). These are augmented with two sound groups recorded in the period between 2018-21, one of electronics (analogue and digital synthesis together with tape manipulation) and one of acoustic instruments (a set of Radulescu's original Romanian folk wooden flutes, and a specially tuned sound icon). In Opus 42 Inner Time / Outer Time (1980-83), paired compositions presented together here for the first time, a spectrum of odd number harmonics is deconstructed and rebuilt by overlaid flutes and clarinets, the instruments' natural variations of pitch causing the total sonic mass to seethe and boil.Inch
