Recollection GRM / Portraits GRM

A split album as part of the GRM Portraits series with two electroacoustic pieces by Florian Hecker (computer-generated multiphonic sounds and resynthesized recordings of localized textures) and Okkyung Lee (an acousmatic piece written for computer-generated sounds, pre-recorded materials and cello that was developed for the Acousmonium sound diffusion system during a residence at Ina GRM, Paris, in January 2019).

Two pieces that evolve with grace and inspiration in the vast domain of the sound world, each with their own agenda.

Two contrasting pieces by French composer Michèle Bokanowski, recorded a decade apart, which nevertheless demonstrate her unique style.

Two essentiel works of musique concrète commissioned for and and realised at the GRM by Lionel Marchetti during the mid ‘90s.

Recorded at INA GRM and Steamroom, covering a period of thirty years, the gap between the two visits Jim O'Rourke made to the GRM, featuring Eiko Ishibashi on piano, Atsuko Hatano on violin and viola and Eivind Lonning on trumpet, Shutting Down Here is considered by O'Rourke himself as his “most meaningful” release.
