LP ---- JPY

This 1986 release is part of the "PHTORA" series of five works conceived in 1968〜1972 by Nicolae Brînduş (1935-2023), a little-known Romanian avant-garde composer, which explores how collective improvisation can be structured in stages. The 1986 album is reissued by Metaphon, a Belgian experimental label curated by Timo Van Luijk.

A treasured work that was previously released on extended CD by Creel Pone, a renowned electronic music label, this LP reissue from the Romanian Contemporary Music series by Electrecord, a Romanian state-owned label, was released in 1986 and is considered one of the most unique works in the series. It is said to be one of the most unique works in the series. It is a dazzling collage of ordered cacophony, large-scale collective improvisation orchestras, spectral approaches, Romanian folklore, and free jazz, amplified by tape manipulation and deep reverb. A quiet madness that loses its sense of reality, led by the bizarrely awesome opening track "Match". A parochial reissue that brings the ambiguous zone of Eastern European experimental music to the present. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
