Popis - SONOLOGY INSTITUTE:
As we peruse these electronic works, composed between 1959 and 1969 at the "Institute of Sonology" by Dick Raaymakers, Frits Weiland, Ton Bruynel, Konrad Boehmer, Gottfried Michael Koenig and Rainer Riehn, we are impressed by the extraordinary freedom of tone in the works of these composers. We can't listen to these pieces today with indifference, their impact seems to us just as strong and intense as more recent noise productions.
We need to reflect on this period - the revolution of the fifties and sixties - and understand that what was done then was elaborated without a base - ex nihilo - a music produced by
machines designed to construct the new.
Ton Bruynel (1934-1999). The realisation of 'Reflexen' took place at the Institute for Sonology and in the composer's private studio. Bruynel has written numerous works for tape and
for tape and live instrumentalist.
