Robert Scott Thompson - Acousma. Electroacoustic Music.nfo
GENERAL INFORMATION
=====================
Album: Acousma. Electroacoustic Music
Artist: Robert Scott Thompson
Year: 2001
Genre: New Age / Electronic / Modern Classical / Experimental
DESCRIPTION
==================
from http://www.ambientvisions.com/12112001.htm:
Dr. Robert Scott Thompson created the elements of "Acousma: Electroacoustic Music" during the period from 1996 through 2001. Some of the elements (pieces) have appeared on previous releases. "Acousma," as an entity in and of itself, was created in 2001.
An acousma is "a form of auditory hallucination, a sensation of hearing imaginary sounds (also acouasm) or a nonverbal auditory hallucination, such as a ringing, buzzing or hissing."
This double CD set comes with a booklet of detailed comprehensive liner notes in which Robert describes his styles, techniques and/or intents for each piece. There is also a very informative and enlightening essay by Ronald Squibbs, Ph. D., presumably one of Robert's colleagues.
The project was supported by a grant from Georgia State University (Robert is an associate professor there) and commissioned by The Electric Music Foundation.
If this is not the best CD of Robert's career, it is certainly one of the most important CD's. This composition can be appreciated as a long-form continuous play symphony or as a collection of related pieces. It also works very well on random play with other ambient, minimalist, classical and/or avant- discs.
So, where does the focused listener go with this set? The set represents a veritable kaleidoscope of emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual responses. There are Celtic references, accolades to Robert Moog, references to T. S. Eliot and mathematical progressions and algorithms. So, deep listeners will go in many different directions, some of them simultaneously.
The career of this genius is, essentially, the history of modern computerized music. That Robert is able to translate that to the ambient and minimalist genres is a tribute to his genius and to his creativity. This is an absolutely essential CD! - Jim Brenholts
