Side A:
Tinguely (1967)
Musique concrète for a television program by C. Caspari. From recordings made by the composer in 1966 at an exhibition of
Jean Tinguely's work. Once the 110V Liliput engine is turned on, the sculptures start moving instantly in unpredictable ways, as if they had suddenly become frantic. They move in disorganized and excited ways; each action brings them on the verge of self-destruction. Tinguely's
Balubas show us how ephemeral and intangible art and life are. The
Balubas carry joy and despair, fascination and disillusionment.
Side B:
Dernier Matin d'Edgar-Allan Poe (1964)
Musique concrète for a short 33 mm black-and-white film by Jean Barral.
