This is quite simply, the weirdest of the Wakhevitch records ! Scored for ballets by the much celebrated avant-garde choreographer Carolyn Carlson. A big step away from rock, this album is the challenching start to the second phase of Igor Wakhévitch’s career. A very avant-garde opera in parts, starting with a warbling soprano and cello, you’d never guess where this album is going to take you. Synthesizers (in looping patterns) take us close to the feel of Ralph Lundsten at this time, which is not so surprising as Ralph Lundsten had also worked with Carolyn Carlson. Tape collage is also used extensively, along with ritualistic horns (sounds like Jac Berrocal), waves of sonic slurry, and a total disregard for conventional musical continuity. Admittedly, it took a long while to really get into this one !
Don't miss out !!!

CLASSIC RECORDING !!!
