Wishart, Trevor - Journey Into Space
SKU
06-PD18
York University's music department houses one of the UK's first ever electronic music studios, and during the early seventies it was a hotbed of creative activity. Much of the released output from the studio at this time revolved around the work of the dynamic composer Trevor Wishart. Journey Into Space was his first release, composed between 1970 and 72, and was privately pressed as two separate LP's in 1973...this record is also a total anomaly in the canon of Britishexperimental music and has little to do with the current, or even subsequent work by Wishart. The vast length ofthis piece has many different styles. There are acoustic sections, mostly of junk and toys (bike bells, squeeze horns,bottles, metal tubes, combs etc.) as well as flute and brass sections that are used as raw material.
