PARMEGIANI, BERNARD - Pop'eclectic CD (Plate Lunch) GER $14.25
"We are very proud to 
announce the release of a CD by Bernard Parmegiani, member of the 
INA/GRM since 1959 and surely a key figure of musique concrète. This 
release includes four so far unreleased works that Parmegiani has 
recorded between 1966 and 1973. Especially the first two of these 
four pieces show Bernard Parmegiani from his less 'serious', but more 
'playful' side. The title track is a great mix of pop, rock and 
classical music driven forwards by fast bleeping electronic rhythms. 
At least Michel Portal added a beautiful improvisation to 
Parmegiani's dark and sometimes threatening tape-sounds. All four 
recordings are taken from the INA/GRM archives and they are great 
examples of Bernard Parmegiani's highly sophisticated approach and 
treatment of sound."
