Ultra rare lp privately issued by l'Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) as a document of their ongoing research into electronic sound. All of side 1 is taken up by Exemples Sonores, a beautiful montage of demonstrations of then state-of-the-art synthesis methods, sound experiments, newly invented electronic instruments, digital audio processing techniques, and psychoacoustic phenomenon; there are some extremely unusual sounds which must be heard to be believed including computer-generated and digitally-processed speech and vocal noises, studies in spatial/stereo effects and microtonal scales, and mutated synthetic instruments which morph properties of acoustic instruments to wild effect. Side 2 features 8 excellent and rarely heard experimental electronic compositions by IRCAM residents ranging from purely electronic works to live instrumental pieces incorporating realtime electronic processing realized on IRCAM equipment. Performers include the Ensemble InterContemporain directed by Peter Eotvos as well as Boulez, soprano Jane Manning, contrabassist Barry Guy, engineers/assistants Gyorgy Kurtag, Marc Battier, and Stanley Haynes, and others. Contributors to the Exemples Sonores include most of the other composers on this disc plus Maurice Bejart, Vinko Globokar, Roger Reynolds, Harrison Birtwistle, Jean-Baptiste Barriere, and many others.
