Bengt Hambraeus
Fresque Sonore / Transfiguration

Album SE on Swedish Society Discofil label
Electronic and Classical (Musique Concrète, Contemporary, Experimental)

The back of the sleeve has liner notes written in Swedish, English and German. Fresque Sonore (1956-57) was from the very beginning conceived as a composition for loudspeakers. The starting point is a soprano part. The various instruments were recorded separatly and each musician played several parts, each recorded individually. The synchronisation was made at the control table where certain sounds were filtered and ringmodulated. Transfiguration (1962-63) concludes a cycle of compositions containing both instrumental and electronical works (Rota, Transit, Transfiguration). The whole cycle can be defined as a family where the different members are individuals and at the same time closely related to the pattern - genealogy - of the family. --- Fresque Sonore was recorded 6-28 Novemeber, 1967, at the following locations (all in Stockholm): Storkyrkan: the Organmovements Studio 2, Sveriges Radio: Soprano Vocals, Congas, Harpsichord Elektronmusikstudions Klangverkstad, Sveriges Radio: All Percussion (except Congas), Tamtam, Gonggongs, various Bells Musikaliska Akademins Stora Sal: all remaining Voices Transfiguration was recorded in Stockholms Konserthus 15 September, 1966, in connection with the worldmusic festival of 1966 (ISCM).
