György Ligeti: Artikulation (1958 Musique Concrete Avant Electronic)BackHungarian born György Ligeti is most famous for his work with the director Stanley Kubrick. If you felt uneasy watching The Shining or 2001: A Space Odyssey, then feel free to blame the creepy, dissonant sounds layered on the soundtrack by this challenging composer. Before his acclaimed film work, Ligeti ran into trouble with the communist state over 'subversive piano pieces', before travelling to Germany to make pioneering electronica at the legendary WDR studio. Some of his mid 50s recordings almost rival the work of his one time colleague Karlheinz Stockhausen. 1957's Glissandi is probably his most famous piece, but I've always had a soft spot for the freaky Artikulation. This version (with more than a few vinyl crackles) is from from a compilation of wonderful experimental noise called 'A Panorama of Experimental Music'... The video is lifted from a public domain science flick called "Everyday Radioactivity" which explains the joys of alpha beta and gamma rays. The film features Don Herbert (aka Mr. Wizard) who tried to make science fun and accessible. Think of him as an American Johnny Ball without the hideous knitwear and DJ daughter.
