Description
Eliane Radigue “Jetsun Mila” K7 issued by Lovely Music (LMC 2003) in USA, 1987. ****** Rec:m- / Cov:m- ****** Ultra rare tape, the first-edition of this groundbreaking Eliane Radigue work!!! Performed on ARP 2500 modular synthesizer and recorded digitally by Eliane Radigue. “Jetsun Mila” eschews text in favor of a purely electronic treating of his storied life via nine passages that slowly and seamlessly flow into one another. Radigue is one of the most perceptually disorienting composers I've ever heard, her exploration of inaudible subharmonics and overtones has a way of physically changing the landscape of the room her music inhabits, and it becomes difficult to sort out what the reality is between what you're perceiving and actually hearing. “Jetsun Mila” is deeply meditative, with some passages conjuring the random patterns of bells blowing in the stark mountains and valleys of Tibet, while others have the sustained power and near violence of Tibetan ritual horns. Her genius is that she achieves those effects through allusion rather than mimicry, trusting in the listener's ability to pursue the truth just as Milarepa did with his inscrutable words of wisdom. “Jetsun Mila” is inspired by the life of Milarepa, a great yogi and poet of Tibet who lived in the 11th Century. The story of his life as told to his closest disciple, Rechungpa, represents one of the most famous works within Tibetan culture. The Mila Kabum, or Namthar, has been translated into several Western languages, including English and French. Eliane Radigue's musical evocation of Milarepa's life is in nine sections, with prelude, which correspond to major periods of the life of this famous yogi. The sections flow from one to the other without breaks, one giving birth naturally to the next. There is sound, which you already know about, and then there is what Ms. Radigue is attuned to, sound’s divisible ingredients. “Jetsun Mila” is never very loud and not very dramatic, in the typical sense of that word. It doesn’t really have rhythm, it has oscillations. It doesn’t really have notes, it has frequencies with certain colors and depths. It is inclusive and suggestive and abstract. As it moves, you may automatically visualize what it reminds you of: chimes, vehicles, chants, wind currents, low-brass instruments. None of that is actually there. ****** Perfect conditions! ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends. Attention!
