about

Vladimir Ussachevsky (1911-1990) was one of the most significant pioneers in the compositon of electronic music, and one of its most potent forces. He produced the first works of “tape music” a uniquely American synthesis of the French musique-concrète and the German pure-electronic schools. He co-founded the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1959 and directed its course for the next twenty years as the leading electronic music studio in the United States.

This release couples two of his most powerful and innovative scores: Suite from No Exit (1962), from the film of Sartre's play No Exit, directed by Orson Welles, and the soundtrack for the avant-garde film, Line of Apogee (1967).

Includes PDF liner notes by Alice Shields.

|| Line of Apogee is a through-composed work. Although the tracks have been situated at various contrasting passages within the piece, they do not necessarily correspond to “movements” in the strict sense. Rather, they are intended as convenient entry points in the music. ||
