Artist: BOB GLUCK Title: Electric Songs Label: EMF 51/151 Country: USA Format: CD Status: AVAILABLE $13.00
Description: On his second CD, Bob Gluck brings together the complex overlaying of his previous work with his passion for live electronic performance. Gluck performs on traditional instruments from the Mideast, a Turkish lute, the saz and the Jewish shofar (ram's horn), which have been expanded with sensors and custom designed software interfaces. The sounds are lush and evocative and the musical forms draw from traditional Jewish sources. Gluck is joined on one extended composition by singer, Zoe B. Zak. The CD closes with a surprising early work of musique concrete, anticipating by two decades Gluck's interest in soundscape composition.
Gluck writes: "I have long missed the incorporation of physical gestures, so characteristic of acoustical instrumental performance, in electronic musical practice. These recordings are representative of my recent concerts, in which I have been exploring ways to expand electronic musical performance technique, while extending the natural sonic characteristics of acoustical instruments."
This CD is an excellent and highly musical contribution to the evolving tradition of expanded electronic performance.
