“Red Bird is not only a piece of music, but also a journey into an alternative world.” RED BIRD (1977) ist ein unglaublich dynamisches Stück lautpoetischer Musique Concrete und Elektro-Akustik, Schreie, Atmen & andere Stimmlaute, verfremdete Alltagsgeräusche, Tiere, scharfe breaks - alles verbunden durch ein alternativ-Symbolhaftes Kompositionskonzept. ANTICREDOS (1980) besticht durch ungewöhnliche Gesangs- und Choraltechnik, Stimme & vereinzelte Perkussion als Waffe & Agitation.
“Trevor Wishart asked: "Why work with computers?" And answered: "Why, to make sounds that no one has heard before." 'Red Bird' (1980), Wishart's classic electronic work, is all about sound and transformations. Vocal sounds are changed into metallic hammers, a book slammed closed becomes a slammed door ... A vast array of recorded sounds shift and slowly morph into other sounds, and the effect is magical. 'Anticredos' (1980), also on the CD, is a vocal transformation of the word "Credos". The superb performance by the ensemble Singcircle creates a new sound world bearing little resemblence to the original sounds of the word. We are reminded, in fact, that the voice is the ideal synthesizer and that Wishart is one of the essential composers in the history of computer music.” [label description]
