Chippenham (Wednesday 6th March 2024)

Buzz made a quick sortie into Chippenham this afternoon for me to visit two or three shops, including purchase of the latest The Wire, with the cover mount CD, The Wire Tapper 64 (see Extra), which brings my collection of them up to 64. My selection from it will turn up as my Lozarhythm Of The Day for today, no doubt, once I have got to grips with it.

Inevitably I strolled on to the River Avon. There wasn't a single bird or other animal to be seen, just a group of anglers.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Osmo Lindeman - Ritual (1972)
I have always had an interest in electronic experimental music, long before it could be created in bedrooms on laptop computers and cheap synthesizers. The first album in the genre that I bought was Morton Subotnik's Silver Apples Of The Moon (Extract), bought in 1967 if memory serves. The Finnish composer Osmo Lindeman (1927-1987) abandoned orchestral works in 1968 and built one of the earliest electronic music studios in Finland to concentrate on tape composition. This piece, included on The Wire Tapper 64, is from Electronic Works, which won the 1972 International Musical Composition Contest. Amongst his other works is a TV commercial for Sunkist.
