KIRCHIN, BASIL - QUANTUM (A JOURNEY THROUGH SOUND IN TWO PARTS) (CD - USED m-/m-)

"This is the first ever issue of this recording, and the first Basil Kirchin recording release for thirty years. It's a unique recording in every respect, afterall Basil is possibly the UK's most important composer than no one has heard of. This will soon change. Quantum was spliced together by Basil using jazz, field recordings (animals, insects, trams), his wife and Autistic children. It's all based on Basil's theories of sound, and that when you slow down or speed up sound, you open up new doors, and new sound is revealed. Considering this recording was made circa 1973, one cannot underestimate the true genius and musical foresite of the man. Quantum has to be the crowning glory of this mans musical explorations and unique theory. It has remained locked away for thirty years and has been released now for the first time ever. You have been warned." (label info)
