STRUCTURES SONORES LASRY-BASCHET

THE TIME EATERS LP

Columbia Masterworks

Original french pressing of psych drone experiments not far from the sound world of Harry Bertoia or Goa et Franky Bourlier.

Some info on the release: See Broken Music, page 145 for more Lasry-Baschet related recordings. This is the 60's american pressing of this experimental music masterpiece on Columbia Music of Our Time series!! Also issued on France on Arion. "Rare late 1960s lp with Indian-influenced psych-drone pieces performed by composer Jacques Lasry on the legendary Structures Sonores (sound sculptures built out of metal, glass, and plastic by Bernard and Francois Baschet). He is joined by son Teddy Lasry on flute and bass violin, Jean Guerin on tabla, and Aude Cornillac on occasionally surfacing wordless vocals. "The structures... employ such energizing agents as glass rods that vibrate when stroked by moistened fingers; amplifying devices, such as plastic balloons filled with air or metal cones or foils; and vibrating rods that are struck by hard or soft mallets." The resulting raw tones and resonances extracted from these unique instruments are fascinating.

The Baschet Structures Sonores have been used in compositions by Andres Lewin-Richter, Ravi Shankar, Toru Takemitsu, and Jacques, Yvonne, and Teddy Lasry; they compare to the sound sculpture and homemade instrument work of Max Neuhaus, Harry Partch, Z'ev and Donald Knaack, Harry Bertoia, Alvin Lucier and Paul Panhuysen, Bill Fontana, etc. Jacques Lasry also released an lp on the legendary Patchwork French library label. Teddy Lasry was a member of French prog group Magma."(courtesy of keymap records)
