DEMARINIS, PAUL - SONGS WITHOUT THROATS (2LP)

back in stock, one of Black Truffle's finest moments "Black Truffle announces the release of Songs Without Throats, a collection of recordings from Paul DeMarinis. A key figure in the history of electronic music since the 1970s and collaborator with the likes of Robert Ashley, David Behrman, and David Tudor, DeMarinis is a pioneer in the development of gallery sound installation and digital music technologies. All tracks have been selected in collaboration with the artist, focusing on DeMarinis's exploration of synthesized voice and the digital analysis and manipulation of speech sounds, recorded during the late '70s up until 1995. Drawing together tracks dispersed on compilations along with a number of pieces previously unheard in any form, Songs Without Throats offers a mind-blowing, revelatory look into DeMarinis's alternately accessible and uncompromising production. Deluxe gatefold sleeve with archival images and liners by DeMarinis; design by Stephen O'Malley. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker." (label info)
