This is a series of previously unreleased live recordings from a little-known but trailblazing ensemble of improvisers, equipped with a unique embrace of invented instruments and distinctly 1970s avant-garde sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1974 by composer Allen Strange and now-celebrated instrument designer Donald Buchla, the Electric Weasel Ensemble explored new directions in live performance with electronics, using Buchla's sophisticated and unusual instruments as a launching pad. Maintained for decades by ensemble member Stephen Ruppenthal, these recordings include some of the best-preserved examples of Strange's pioneering compositions: graphically notated directed improvisations for electronic and electronically processed acoustic instruments, offering rare insight into the radical sonic aesthetic that Buchla's inventions enabled in the Bay Area music scene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electric Weasel Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":49170288378073,"sku":"793447553214","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/0468\/3425\/files\/IMPREC532LP_CU.jpg?v=1788144716","url":"https:\/\/drownedworldrecords.com\/en-fr\/products\/electric-weasel-ensemble-2lp","provider":"Drowned World Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
