Where is the LOVE for Ilhan Mimaroglu

http://www.lightmillennium.org/winter_02/mdede_mimaroglu.html

pretty much any of the late 60's early 70's solo albums are key: wings of the delirious demon & coucou bazaar - all religions are domains of the devil are my favorites. those two are out of print but they've been ripped.

tract & to kill a sunrise are more explicitly political, explosive radio plays with lots of political texts -- they demand attention, but the ascending massively overdubbed wall of screaming at the end of to kill a sunrise is just one of those things, locust reissued these albums last year as agitation

the lp with freddie hubbard is a similiar radioplay sort of thing, has its moments definitely

criminal record & outstanding warrants compile later works, odds and ends, not as into those

I got my copy of this from grux of caroliner's outstanding dolor del estamago boot label: http://brutalsoundeffects.com/dolordel01.html

this is in my hometown.

i had no idea grux did dolor del estamago!

he was also an engineer for atlantic records, having a hand in (among other things) duke ellington's the great paris concert and new orleans suite. but it's not like he was going splice-crazy or anything with duke's stuff (that woulda been some kinda earthquake...)

>milton have you heard the dubuffet record on finnadar?

I have a CD called Expériences Musicales but it looks like a different track list than the Finnadar record. I certainly like the Finnadar cover better. Need to check it out again, it's very out stuff.

discography of Mimaroglu's Finnadar label, distributed by Atlantic, about halfway down this page. there were a lot more releases than I thought

i wd play the hubbard lp but my phonograph is bust

I hate describing abstract music, but main characteristics are constant, brutal, disruptive violence & unsettling colors, eyes wide open. sampling & tape collage, musique concrete, free synth (can't hum along), filter & ringmod processing of acoustic instruments, etc. occasional floating dreamscapey things (these are the pieces Fellini went with for ambience in Satyricon), but in the context of the albums they're mainly just to soften you up for more action.

reference points (not influences) might be the busier Dockstader, the ferocious 50's / early 60's splices-per-second Luc Ferrari pieces, or some of the Gottfried Michel Koening assaults. some of the appeal is that his sounds were often a lot noisier than most of his contemporaries -- shockingly rude at the time, but aging far better than many of the people who were going for state of the art precision -- he sometimes sounds like a lot of the circuit-bending pure electronics coming out today, only carefully considered & done well

xpost yeah describing abstract music should be more someone else's job than mine really, but interest in Mimaroglu is still mainly limited to people who really like music

Aww. RIP. Wings of the Delirious Demon was an LP I looked for for years and when I finally found it I was thrilled with it. Love this dude & celebrate his entire catalog.
