AREL BULENT - CD ELECTRONIC MUSIC 1960-73

Popis - ELECTRONIC MUSIC 1960-73:
Bülent Arel was a Turkish-born American composer of electronic
and contemporary classical music. In 1959, following his studies at the Ankara Conservatory, Arel came to the USA on a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. There he met Edgard Varèse with whom (in 1962) he worked on the electronic sections of Varèse's 'Déserts'. Frank Zappa listed Arel as a key influence. Today's electronic music - may it be by Autechre's 'Confield', Aphex Twin's 'Selected Ambient Works Vol. II', or Squarepusher's 'Do You Know Squarepusher' - builds upon a solid foundation which Bülent Arel helped to pave.
