Description

Here is a hard to find experimental/jazz/avant-garde music from the Cacophonic series. It is the maiden voyage into a short run of radical theatrical performance music comprising electronic ballet scores, vanguard mimes and art installation soundtracks. The Bewitched is an important, pioneering work of conceptual composition for mime and dance from self-taught and multi-disciplined American luminary Harry Partch.


Based around the central character of a witch (vocalist Freda Schell-Pierce) this LP presents an early example of the unique aesthetic and social commentaries of Partch whose homebuilt and designed instruments would redefine scales as well as song structures and would progressively provide modern Western composition with some of the most idiosyncratic, beguiling and challenging music and sound poetry ever committed to vinyl. The records are NM and sleeve is VG+.
