About this album

Electronic Music is a landmark 1966 collaboration from John Cage, Luciano Berio and Ilhan Mimaroglu, bringing modern classical ideas into the experimental studio. The album gathers pioneering tape and electronic works that test chance procedures, sound collage and the expressive possibilities of recorded noise, with pieces such as Cage’s Fontana Mix and Berio’s Visage showing how radical composition could become. Issued during a formative period for electronic music, it reflects three composers who helped expand the language of post-war avant-garde music and influenced later experimental, academic and electronic practice.
