”I was getting to the point where my mind was blank. I remember shifting consciousness and having a sensation of my mind being above time. I felt I could move forward, backward in time. The physical sensation is an orgasm of the soul, because you are in complete, absolute union. You extend your mind and being out of this dimension, and wham! You receive a knowing beyond words. When you transcend over into the other dimension, you split in two, and yet you are one. This is what all the alchemists brought out: you split in two, and yet you are one. This is pretty weird for most people, but you have split in two, you have another being which can realize the Absolute, the Godhead. These two you’s are in perfect union.”
(Reported in Brad Steiger, Revelation: The Divine Fire (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1973).)

Hear three out of print titles on Ubuweb
Avant-garde enthusiasts Ubuweb have made available three essential but sadly out of print works by Eliane, Geelriandre and Arthesis (1972), Adnos I-III (1975-83) and Kyema, Intermediate States (2002).
It’s worth noting that much of Eliane’s work is currently in print, see releases on labels such as Lovely Music, Experimental Intermedia and Important Records.

Sun Ra - Soft Talk
How far out of the loop am I? I just found out yesterday that Poly Styrene died last month.
In my feeble defense, I have been kind of busy.

This is exactly amazing enough to induce proper humility.
Laurie Spiegel - The expanding universe (1980))
Absolutely essential top-shelf desert island science.
This is a serious brain burner.
Laurie Spiegel is a pioneer in computer aided electronic music. During the 70’s she worked at Bell labs and composed music usingGROOVE, a computer music system designed by Max Matthews, and one of the first in it’s field. The Expanding Universe compiles material recorded between 1974-76 with the GROOVE system.
It’s a mystery to me that Spiegel isn’t yet more recognized as being central to the development of electronic music. Her works were groundbreaking as much in her approach to composition as with the equipment she was using to express her ideas. When this record was released in 1980 she was already thinking of computer music in grassroots terms, seeing the computer itself as a tool that could be accessible to a larger amount of people and facilitate the realization of complex music with simpler means. I guess you could say she was spot-on with that statement…Colorful timbres, complex rhythmical patterns, pure electronic tones and slowly changing microtonal drones make The Expanding Universe THE sound of electricity.

PS: Continuo has a better rip here
And for more info on Laurie Spiegel, visit her website here and be sure to get your hands on Obsolete Systems, it’s a fantastic overview of her works from 1972-1983 and even better than The Expanding Universe in my opinion…
