Courtis - Las Sales Fundentes 2 xcd

Actually released by OM Discos

“Legend has it that when Rahsaan Roland Kirk first encountered a pocket calculator he immediately put it to service as a sound source, composing a mambo for keypad touch tones. Something akin to Kirk’s irrepressible, benign spirit and infinite curiosity regarding the properties of sound seems to animate all the music produced by Alan Courtis. The evidence is all over this double solo CD, which compiles unreleased pieces and tracks previously issued by labels based in Finland, Norway, Belgium, Germany, the UK, New Zealand, Japan, the US (underlining this Argentinian omni-musician’s frequent-traveller status among the international experimental jet-set). Several of the pieces are droneworks, but even as they describe a gradual movement along a static horizontal plain, these drones are ever changing, as multiple frequencies unleashed to interact through the vertical laminates revealing a microtonal world full of drama and incident.” Tony Herrington.
