Description
Tod Dockstader - Eight Electronic Pieces LP
An important cornerstone of American electronic music for many reasons, Eight Electronic Pieces is an essential addition to any collection of early electronic and tape composition.
Whilst initially ignored by both academia and the record industry, Eight Electronic Pieces’s ground-shattering mosaics of swerving oscillators and shredded tape would find its place on Smithsonian’s legendary Folkways catalogue within the same year of its self-release, which serves to illustrate its position as a bridge between folk art and academic musique concrète practice, whilst not necessarily a part of either prism. It’s a thing unto itself, or simply “organised sound” as the artist himself puts it.
Incredible stuff which has lost none of its otherworldly magnetism since 1961.
Folkways Records / 1961 / Good Condition - vinyl has visible scratches and scuffs on both sides however it was test-played and plays well with little surface noise & no skips
