Camille Andre Sauvage was a French soul-jazz-funk clarinettist, library composer and orchestra leader, born 4th April 1910.

His library compositions were a mixture of experimental jazz and electronics.

This album is full of atmospheric and creepy sounds, where bells and keyboards intertwine with jazz rhythms and strange timings.

Many of these pieces would easily fit with White Noise An Electric Storm In Hell from 1969.

 Musique Pour L'Image was a library music label set up in 1967 by jazz composer Robert Viger. 

This albums music destined no doubt for films and television is one of the more interesting with a single contribution from Czech composer and musicologist Pavel Blatny providing ten wonderful minutes for a piece that was perhaps the thirty as eluded to in the title.At times the drumming is of near death metal speeds!

The rest of the album is comprised of pieces by Alain Petitgirard known as Alain Kremski, a French musician and composer of contemporary music, famed for his use of Asian instruments and creations using Tibetan bowls.

Overall a great album of abstract modern classical music that makes for disturbing listening.

Institution D.O.L. is the power electronics / noise project of Austrian musician Matthias Beisl AKA Barbie B.

On the trails of the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley. 'The Thelema Tales' is a thematically in-depth audio document from a pilgrimage to Sicily in 2015 that Barbie B. did with his partner Meta Dolor. Here, INSTITUTION D.O.L. explores the mythos and mysticism of the man with six spacious tracks where smooth piano lines meet field recordings, from the Abbey and La Rocca, and electronica meets dark ambient. Four years of intense and devoted work has culminated and manifested into The Thelema Tales, which was originally released in a limited-edition CD version in 2020, and now finally seeing worldwide release on vinyl courtesy of EDGED CIRCLE PRODUCTIONS.

'The Abbey', superb mix of strange voices, beautiful piano and harsh (yet mellow) electronics. Features one of the original recordings of Crowley, its haunting and eerie.

More Crowley mixed into the second track, this one makes use of minimalist piano, ambient electronics and musique concrete samples.

'Ad Astra I and II', again superb mixture of minimalist keyboard work, musique concrete and other worldly vocal samples.

Coming out of the blue is 'Sex With A Seitanist' in which Barbie B starts with a sermon delivered by a hellfire preacher, then over simple piano he recounts his story, as the piece moves on we get another of Crowley's recordings and some chorus synth.

Finally, and all too soon, we arrive (as it were) with 'Exodus II', using some of the slightly harsher and disturbing keyboard style, together with more minimalist sounds to craft another atmospheric masterpiece.

I am blown away by this recording, I didn't know that people out there who still worked in the 'electroacoustic' and 'Musique Concrete' genres.

Rating 10/10

For Fans Of: Boleskine, Konrad Boehmer, Alvin Lucier, Boyd Rice, David Tudor, Coil, Current 93, George Crumb

Been a while since I wrote the novella 'Blood Stained Mask' which was published over a year ago now.

I wanted to put something fun together, so I have updated the 616 weird and wonderful record list to now number 1331 !

I threw in some updated articles I wrote years ago on performance art, the human condition and the pioneers of recording and electronic music.

Added a few bits of my surreal poetry and loads of pictures.

Enjoy, feel free to share the link around as much (or as little) as you want.
