Mauricio Kagel (1931-2008): Acustica, for experimental sound-producers and loud-speakers (1968/1970). Part I [23:46] Part II [19:53] Part III [17:44] Part IV [17:22] Kölner Ensemble für Neue Musik I. Christoph Caskel II. Karlheinz Böttner III. Edward H. Tarr IV. Wilhelm Bruck V. Vinko Globokar Formation of the players during recording session: III II IV I V Cover image: painting by Gerhard Richter. The first two parts of “Acustica“ are live performances by five musicians (recorded at Studio Rhenus, Godorf bei Köln, on January 28-31, 1971) and the second two parts are electroacoustic compositions produced in 1969. The live performances use a crazy collection of homemade instruments, some purely acoustic and others incorporating loud-speakers, tone generators, or cassette recorders. *** The music published in our channel is exclusively dedicate
