Ever since his first productions, L’expérience Acoustique (1971) Bayle has developed through a great variety of formats and designed the Acousmonium, a sound diffusion system used originally by the GRM. In 1975, the GRM was integrated with the new Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA) with Bayle as its head, a post he held until 1997, bringing invaluable contributions to the opening of musical research in these original innovative institutions.
Born in 1932 in Tamatave, Madagascar, where he lived for 14 years, Bayle is a major figure of electro-acoustic music and member of Pierre Schaeffer’s historic Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM), formed in Paris in 1958.
Also included is “Cinq Dessins En Rosace” (1973). On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the GRM, composer Bayle introduces some of his unpublished archives pieces include the title composition, “Electrucs !” (1974) composed on a 1970s Synthi AKS synthesizer like an imaginary soundtrack, “Foliphonie” (1974) inspired by La Grande Polyphonie (1978), and “Marpège” (1995), dedicated to Bernard Parmegiani. Transversales Disques present Electrucs!, a new release of never-released music by Francois Bayle. Comes in gatefold sleeve.įrancois Bayle: Electrucs! (Transversales Disques) LP The music expressed is basically a polyhedral pataphysical gaze on the complexity of the existing, an immersion in the contradictory forces of reality the attentive listener will be able to recognize the tortuous and magical lines of a free and imaginative artistic creation, which is absolutely counter-current and unconventional. You might be almost stimulated to guess - in the articulated sound architectures of the tracks - every single fragment of popular or cultured music from every part of the world (Asia, Africa, Middle East, South America) related to the ad hoc inserts of polyphonic instrumentation distorted and dazed. The “plunderphonics” style of the compositional process, significant to allowing a technical experimentalism of inexhaustible variety of materials used (compendium of sounds, harmonies, ethnic timbres) and the infinite possibilities of assembly between non-sense and provocation, still remains. This work seems to be even more enigmatic than the previous ones. The third episode of the alchemical association between Roberto Musci and Giovanni Venosta, reprinted for the first time.
Soave present a reissue of Roberto Musci and Giovanni Venosta’s A Noise, A Sound, originally released in 1992. Roberto Musci/Giovanni Venosta: A Noise, A Sound (Soave) LP Keep an ear out, cuz there’s gonna be a lot to cram in there. Loads in again this week and the next few weeks have some MASSIVE releases coming out. While you’d think as we inch towards November and the Xmas shopping season, new releases would start to taper off, but it really doesn’t seem that way.
