The complete tape music of Jan Boerman ; the complete tape music of jan boerman ; vol.1

The Complete Tape Music of Jan Boerman is the second release of NEAR: the Electro-Acoustic Repertoire Cemtrum. This center was founded in 1996 by Gaudeamus and Donemus and aims to document and publish important electronic music composed in the Netherlands. Jan Boerman started with electronics in 1959 in the studio of the Technical University of Delft. In 1962 he set up his own studio with Dick… Raaijmakers. This is where De Zee was created, which was one of the first pieces in which the golden ratio plays an important role. In 1972 the studio was housed in the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, where Boerman would become a teacher of electronic music two years later. Boerman's tape music is one of the most impressive in this field. The monumental power of works such as Alchemie 1961 (used by Rudi van Dantzig for the ballet Monument to a dead boy), De Zee, Composition 1972 and Tellurisch also impress listeners who have little knowledge of electronic music. The edition is accompanied by a beautifully arranged textbook.more
