Michel Chion - Musiques Concrètes 1970-71 to be released on November 3rd

Brocoli is pleased to announce the release of seven early works by Michel Chion, the celebrated musique concrète composer. Composed before he joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in 1971 his characteristic style and sounds are already present. The abrasive electronics and sanctity in Blanche prefigure 1973’s Requiem ; Sonatine and Train de pianos are based on prepared piano improvisations; Habanera and L’Oiseau en Cage evoke La Ronde, and Le Ciel Tremble is the composer’s first melodrama.

Essential listening for lovers of the composer and genre, and for anyone interested in the history of electronic and experimental music.

Limited edition of 500 copies.

• buy the CD for 15€ (shipping included),
• buy the digital version of the album (MP3, FLAC or AAC Lossless format) for 9€.

"There is great sense of crudeness in these pieces and that's something I particular enjoyed with this release" (Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly)
