about

Brocoli is pleased to announce the release of seven early works by Michel Chion, the celebrated musique concrète composer. Composed before he joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in 1971 his characteristic style and sounds are already present. The abrasive electronics and sanctity in Blanche prefigure 1973’s Requiem ; Sonatine and Train de pianos are based on prepared piano improvisations; Habanera and L’Oiseau en Cage evoke La Ronde, and Le Ciel Tremble is the composer’s first melodrama.

Essential listening for lovers of the composer and genre, and for anyone interested in the history of electronic and experimental music.

------------------------------------------------

Après le mélodrame Tu (1977 / 1996) et la symphonie La Vie En Prose (2006 / 2011), Brocoli est heureux de rassembler aujourd'hui sept pièces de jeunesse - dont six totalement inédites - de Michel Chion, avant son entrée en 1971 au Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM). Les sons et l'écriture si caractéristiques du compositeur y sont déjà présents : l'électronique abrasive et le caractère sacré de Blanche (qui préfigurent le célèbre Requiem), le piano préparé de Sonatine et Train de Pianos, la danse dans Habanera et L'Oiseau En Cage, et un premier mélodrame, Le Ciel Tremble.

L'écoute de ces musiques concrètes est indispensable à tous les amoureux du compositeur, du genre, et à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire des musiques électroniques et expérimentales.

What a surreal experience. Instantly transported into an infinitely glitching coin slot machine in an arcade, before being transported into the evolution of a creature that seems to gain mass as it slowly sucks everything into it growing ever larger, stretching and stretching.... Well worth lying in a dark room for. tebbisimo
