Folk Rabe/Jan Bark
Argh!

Tjaft KD-006

CD
£10.99


Compilation of barely-heard material by two consistently interesting Swedish avant garde composers. Rabe is best loved for his amazing Was?? album on Wergo (reissued by Jim O'Rourke on Dexter's Cigar) and this bundles a load of related orbits of experimental 20th century form from both Rabe and collaborator Bark, from 1962's "Bolos" scored for 4 trombones through minimal, almost Thomas Koner-esque electroacoustic creations, Cage-ian tape collages, laminal arrangements of American radio broadcasts and vocal drones. Comes with jewel case inside a card slipcase and includes liners from Jim O'Rourke. Another fascinating episode from the furthest margins of 20th century sound.
