"Rudin’s reputation was established in the 1960’s through his association with Robert Moog and a pioneering series of synthesized compositions, most notably his Nonesuch album, Tragoedia. Throughout the 1970’s many of his compositions were theatrical in nature, involving collaborations with ballet and modern dance, film, television, and incidental music for the stage. His one-act opera, The Innocent was produced in Philadelphia in 1972 by Tito Capobianco. A number of these works blended electronically synthesized sound with traditional instruments and voices. Particularly of note among these works is the inclusion of his music in the soundtrack of the film Fellini: Satyricon. Among the dance groups and choreographers with whom he has worked are Dance Theatre Workshop, Jeff Duncan, Murray Louis, The Pennsylvania Ballet, London Contemporary Dance Theatre, Louis Falco, and four collaborations with Alwin Nikolais. The 1980’s saw the completion of his full-evening opera Three Sisters, on a libretto by William Ashbrook from the play by Chekhov, as well as many works for traditional instruments, both orchestral and chamber music. After his graduation from The University of Pennsylvania, where he studied primarily with George Rochberg, he joined the faculty of The Philadelphia Musical Academy, remaining there for the next thirty-seven years, as it eventually became part of the present University of the Arts. During this time he taught music history, theory, and composition, directed the new music ensemble, and headed the electronic music studio. He taught in the graduate division of the Juilliard School from 1981-1984. Since his retirement in 200l he has worked as a broadcaster for WWFM, The Classical Network from Mercer County Community College, and served on the board of directors for Philadelphia’s Orchestra 2001. He continues to compose extensively. His professional affiliation is BMI. He lives in Allentown, NJ with his partner, Tom Queenan."
Absolutely obscure NDW band .Released just the 7" e.p. shown above and 2 tracks in the compilation Mannheim Lacht. No other infos available.Would appeal Malaria,Wirtschaftswunder,etc fans.
"Tribe of Cro are pioneers of instrumental exploratory soundscapes and textures ranging from heavy industrial guitar outbursts to otherworldly squiggles and ambient bleeps. Using all kinds of electronic trickery they are able to seamlessly glide between all kinds of styles. "
Great heavy psych from South Africa. Would much appeal all fans of Hedrix -like psych and very early Uriah Heep (in some parts). Great 13 minutes jam on the track Awakening. Excellent guitar-organ work.
Great heavy psych with bluesy edges by this German band who later became Hairy Chapter (songs are listed as Chapter on the labels).Released through the obscure Maritim label. Sometimes great Hedrix-like fuzzy wah wah guitars ,sometimes acid tingled heavy psych .HIGHLY RECOMMENTED!
