Langham Research Centre pay tribute to a composer who
has had a significant impact on their work. Pierre Henry contributed
meaningfully to the idea that all and any sounds are material for making
music and the way he did this can be heard in the music of the LRC.
Collage, superimposition, hard jump cuts and sudden intense clashes all
feature. Also important is the use of electronic sound. Henry’s
colleague Pierre Schaeffer disapproved of sources that he didn’t
consider to be natural sound. Pierre Henry embraced electronic as well
as concrete sounds.
Commissioned by BBC Radio 3's Late Junction,
this homage is in the form of a musique concrète suite comprising five
movements: 1. The Cuckoo Bird 2. Little Pagan Rites 3. Communion et la
Mort 4. Nematode Worms 5. Tokyo Demolition.
The starting point for
this homage was a wide selection of Pierre Henry’s work including
Symphonie pour un Homme Seul, Le Voyage, Messe de Liverpool, Une Tour de
Babel and Tokyo 2000.
More Nits.....Henk Hofstede & Simon Ho are Ho Orchestra, with drummer Rob Kloet also from Nits and ex-Nits members Laetitia Van Krieken and Arwen Linnemann. 2005 2006 Edit - forgot to mention the vocalists for Värttinä are also featured.
Many thanks for the reminders about the recently returned labels. I am busy hacking away at Firehouse 12; Steeplechase etc. being a perverse soul however I am currently listening to something I'd forgotten I had.

Best Wishes to one and all.
Nice (and unusual) use of the Shawm on the Rituali disc.
Thanks to @jonahpwll for his 27th Aug recomendation there.
Revisiting - didn't care for it much when it came out. Not sure a lot has changed since. Certainly not 4.5 stars worth, as posited by All Music Guide.
