Description
The tonally oriented synthesizer trends of the 1970s and 80s are situated between the analogue sounds of the 1960s and the digital sound processing of the 1990s. John Persen made use of electronics in many of his works, but his all-electronic works have remained a secret - until now.
John Persen's electronic works sound natural, and the music unfolds without directing attention to the sounds themselves. Persen steered away from much of the other MIDI-based electronic music that was made at that time, as well as from the aesthetics of much of the acousmatic music we hear today. He also avoided the strong technology-focus that was being introduced with computer music. For these reasons, and because of his clear compositional ideas, Persen's electronic music has successfully stood the test of time. New synthesizer technology became adopted in popular music and jazz music much quicker than in art music, as these were defined at the time, and there were only a handful of Norwegian composers working with sound technology when John Persen wrote this music.
