Bengt Hambraeus: Concrete And Synthesizer Music-- Instrada "Calls" (1975); Tornado (1976); Tides (1974)


McGill University Records 76001 Canada 1976 LP Vinyl: ex
Cover: vg+ (small sticker residue on front, light general wear) Mega-rare lp pressed by a small Canadian university label with stunning experimental electronic works which remain unreissued. These fantastic droning sonic environments use sounds derived from African thumb piano (kalimba), brass instruments, voltage controlled oscillators, amplifiers, sequencers, and filters, realized at the McGill University Electronic Music Studio. Highly recommended.

Hambraeus was a Swedish composer and organist influenced by Edgard Varese, Anton Webern, and John Cage; he attended the Darmstadt new music courses in the 50s, where he associated with Messiaen, Boulez, Luigi Nono, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, and he worked at the Studio di Fonologia in Milan, one of the first electronic music studios, alongside Cage, Henri Pousseur, Luigi Nono, Andre Boucourechliev, Luciano Berio, and Bruno Maderna. additional references: Pierre Henry, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Luc Ferrari, Bernard Parmegiani, Francois Bayle, Pierre Schaeffer, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Otto Luening, Tod Dockstader, Richard Maxfield, musique concrete, Douglas Leedy, Morton Subotnick, Jean-Claude Risset, Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, Henk Badings, Dick Raaijmakers, La Monte Young, Alvin Lucier, Folke Rabe...

Note: I can now offer international buyers the super-cheap M-Bag bulk mail rate for orders of 8 or more lps; to most destinations this starts at 21.50 for surface mail or 33.50 for air for up to 17 lps, a huge per-record savings over standard rates for smaller parcels! Feel free to email with any shipping questions. Payment - I prefer Paypal (which allows for fastest possible shipment) and also accept cash, money order (from US financial institutions only, including BidPay, US Postal, certified US bank check, etc., international bidders please take note!), and Western Union money transfer. If you are paying by Paypal and have won multiple items, please use a single Paypal payment. I will send an invoice email to all winners shortly after my auctions close, and another email after payment has been received to confirm item shipment. Packing - I pack professionally using new record mailers exclusively from Cameron Packaging (which I have determined are the best and most protective). For used lps, I remove the lp and inserts from the jacket, cover it in a layer of bubble wrap, and then reinforce it with a cardboard insert. All records are shipped with poly plastic sleeves. All packages are completely sealed with strong packing tape covering all openings. If you'd like your package done any differently, just let me know. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (need more info, want more pictures, etc.); you can use the 'ask seller a question' link above. My condition rating scale is -G+/-VG+/-EX+/-NM/M (only sealed records are M). Satisfaction guaranteed; if you have any problems with your order please contact me directly.
