Some words on this issue: OOSTERLYNCK, BAUDOUIN: “1975 – 1978” (Metaphon) (4 LP Set, Housed in Cloth Bound Box set and LP’s housed in Individual High Quality Jackets: Mint & Unplayed). Cardboard linen LP box contains 4 LPs with separate covers and a 34-page booklet with notes and photos from Baudouin Oosterlynck. Signed and numbered edition of 300 copies. This is an incredibly nice package, from out of nowhere -- and one of the most notable outsider art/avant-garde sound documents you could possibly ask for. This 1st issue on the Belgian Metaphon label is right from the start also one of the most prestigious ever to have crossed my eyes. A 4 LP box set containing recordings dating from 1975-1978, asserting once again that Belgium is a sadly overlooked country as far as avant-garde music is concerned but asserting at the same time it is a deadly force to be reckoned with. But let’s start of with the packaging; an edition of 300 copies is eye-blindingly beautiful. The sets are numbered and signed by the artist; so right from the start you have already a collector’s item in the making. And then we haven’t even started digesting the music yet. Oosterlynck once was found characterizing himself as a “silence artist”. In the detailed booklet, he states that his musical world evolves around penetrating into sound material, and feeling the relation of time and space. To put down sound, listening to it and keeping silent. It may come over as some heavy-loaded concept but that is certainly not the case. His sounds originate out of the use of prepared and normal piano, piano strings, his own voice, and other sound sources. It are naïve conceptual pieces, things he played come to him out of nowhere, at different moments, short as lightning flashes. He is of the impression that he has these so-called sonic visions since before long, visions he claims to have know since childhood, and which he gets acquainted with through listening to his own music. Oosterlynck’s music hence originates out of himself out of his own intuitions, after which he arrives at the “everyday sonoric”. The listener who hears these sonorities and sound sculptures has to get adjusted to them so to speak. Because it concerns here Oosterlynck’s own personal quest to the connection between sound, space and time. Upon a superficial listening, his works may sound monotonous and repetitive. But then it is very minimal music stripped down of all superficial elements after which the characteristics of each sound in it self reveal themselves to you, elements which will remain undetected in most music you have ever listened to. In short it is spell bindingly beautiful and disarming how Oosterlynck voice intertwines in Ontario out of 1977 thanks to a sort of repetitive mantra that evolves and blossoms into a melancholic miniature mass. So this eye-bleeding beautiful release has many things to offer and offers a totally self-sustaining listening experience.
