György Ligeti - Edition (Collection)

hello again! just checking up, hiya! :)

just fyi, edition 7 does not feature the song below (continuum), i believe it is in 5, but the entire collection is totally worth finding. 

btw, edition 8 is la grand macabre, ligeti's insane opera about the events leading up to the apocalypse, and the inevitability of death. it features a car horn opening, a door bell solo, a debate between two political parties (black and white) which consists of only direct insults and immature gestures, and a hilarious piece in which a man dressed as the moon (he's the king/mayor) receives coded messages from the head of the secret service. did i mention almost the entire play is a serial 12-tone composition (perfectly atonal, mathematically speaking). find a recording of it if you can!

An Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music - First A-Chronology

a bit odd for this post, as this is not a singular album, but a collection of albums, an anthology, of noise and electronic music. a must have for any lover of noise and experimental electronic music, this anthology (of 6 different parts, the first is the only one i feature here because, well, its the first) is a very complete set of works, detailing a very complete history of the evolution of experiments in electronic music and noise. many artists, from sonic youth, to john cage, to evolution control committee, all make an appearance in this collection. this collection is a great introduction to the vast world of the eclectic electronic (heh).
