MOLL, GÖTZ - ENIAC GIRLS (2CD)

"The composer Udo Moll was accompanied by the story of the ENIAC girls more or less constantly since 2015: different versions of this piece emerged, ranging from solo electronica to ensemble and even a radiophonic soundart version. This cycle of compositions gets finalized with the release of the double CD "ENIAC girls". Contained are the ensemble version from 2017 und the radiophonic piece from 2018. The Radio Version (produced by Deutschlandfunk Kultur) won the special achievement award of the jury at the Prix Marulic - International Radio Festival run by Croatian Radiotelevision HRT. Field recordings of historic computers, oral-history interviews, experimental voice techniques, percussion, modular synthesizers, Hammond organ - Udo Molls remarkable work amalgamates all that into an electro-acoustic oratorio about the dawn of the thinking machines."
