PIETRO GROSSI

Battimenti 1964-1966

(Ants) Used CD $12.00

“An electronic work composed and realized in 1965, made by 94 combinations of near frequencies, organized in groups of two, three, four and five sine waves, couplings that yield ‘harmonic beatings’— overtones born of the intersection of frequencies. The rigour of Grossi’s working method creates an imaginary sound painting … that anticipated and was contemporary to other masterpieces of modern music, a real forerunner of electronic minimalism.” In gatefold CD jacket with booklet. From 2003

(Ants) Used Enhanced CDR $8.00

Timed recordings made on an endless cassette, without an erase head. Fragments of existing sound material overlap and when enough loud and possessing a distinct presence, inform with the newer layers recordings. The dominant frequencies, the characteristic of the sounds themselves, the various acoustic environments are reinforced and become increasingly manifest. From 2003.
