Deutsche Grammophon Avantgarde Vinyl Series!
Numbered, Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Mastered & Cut from the Original Analog Master Tapes!
Album #2 of the brand new vinyl series featuring groundbreaking recordings from the musical avant-garde.
Mauricio Kagel's Acustica, composed for experimental sound generators and loudspeakers, is among his most radical works. It combines electroacoustic tape material with acoustic performances and embodies Kagel's idea of instrumental theatre, in which sound, gesture, and the performers' presence merge into a single musical act. The work explores an expanded field of musicality and uses invented instruments to liberate sound from traditional performance conventions.
The multitude of global sound sources reflects the diversity of his childhood in Buenos Aires, transforming chaos into playful order and emphasizing the autonomy of each individual performer within a collective whole. With Acustica, Kagel created a unique Latin American response to the European avant-garde: a vibrant, democratic sound world brimming with inventiveness and humanity.
Mastered and cut from the original analog ¼-inch 2-track master tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney Claire Meyer at the Emil Berliner Studios.
Limited and numbered edition with original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector's cover with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, pressed on 180g vinyl.
