Description
DUB TAYLOR : Lumière For Synthesized & Concrete Sound LP (Varese International [USA] VS 81001) 1973.
Record (translucent blue vinyl) is Near Mint (our highest grade for an opened record). Cover is VG+ with light corner wear, and some light inconspicuous spotting/foxing (see photos).
Original copy of this crazy 1973 private electronic / musique concrète LP, the only release (as far as we know) by American composer/engineer/artist Dub Taylor. This was bootlegged on CDR a few years ago by Creel Pone, and reissued again recently by Sub Rosa.
From the Sub Rosa press release:
"lumière evolved over a period of three years from 1969 to 1972. i started by recording random sounds: jets taking off at lax, my girlfriend laughing and screaming, my cat bartok biting a microphone, conversations, etc. i also sampled music, film soundtracks and tv and radio broadcasts.
during this period i acquired the first self-contained portable synthesizer, the newly-designed arp 2600. i began to envision an electronic and musique concrete piece combining various natural and processed sound recordings with synthesized sound into a suite of noise.
in june of 1972 i did a preliminary version of elements of the piece. by october i was ready to put it all together. i set up all these reel to reel machines with tapes i had pre-recorded and plugged them into a mixing board, feeding stereo to a two-track master 15 ips revox a77 tape deck. my idea was to create a sound collage with form but without losing spontaneity and an element randomness. so i rehearsed my fade-ins and fade-outs and the starting and stopping of the various playback decks and when i was ready i went for it, 'playing' all these machines like a musical instrument in this mad moment of creation.
in effect, lumière was a 'live' performance. the only later additions were the silence gaps inserted near the end of the piece using pieces of blank leader tape."
