Pape,Gerard - Electroacoustic Chamber Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Gargantuan, untamed riffs initiate an extinction-level event in your ear canal with this staggering platter of soundwave plowing '60s thunder. Royal Aircoach created a teenage riot with a lone 45 as the only recorded evidence of their sonic sedition.

Recorded 15-17 May 2013. Georg Muffat was a cosmopolitan artist. In a time when no work permits were needed he travelled Europe and worked in Strassbourg, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Rome and ultimately in Salzburg, at the court of the Archbishop.
