↳ Song: "Tempo Furioso Lato B (A)" by "Martin Davorin Jago...

Martin Davorin Jagodić (1935 – 2020) was a Croatian composer and educator, who studied under Milko Kelemen, among others, before relocating to France in 1960 to study under Olivier Messiaen, eventually landing at Groupe de Recherches Musicales, where he worked between 1967 to 1969.

Tempo Furioso (Tolles Wetter) is an electroacoustic work that incorporates elements of radical approaches to electronics and musique concrète, including found sounds into its two long movements (one for each side of the LP). In his liner notes for the original edition – now translated into English for the first time by Dialogo – Davorin Jagodić likens the work, one of many possible manifestations of its open structures – to a storm unsettling a listener who resides in the safety and warmth of their home; the infiltration of naturally encountered sonorities demanding to be heard – “wood creaking, wind blowing, as well as lines connecting us with the outside world, far away as it might be (radio stations, for instance).”

got this very cool recording on my mind again while researching the Bengt Berger show last week - some sources say Bengt plays on this session, but on further inspection I suspect it's a misappropriation from the more commonly seen credit of Karl Berger (there are a lot of different releases of this one, many unofficial, but most claim Karl and only one claims Bengt) ♥ 9:39pm
