The first collage of the year.
2024 promises more collages....consisting of hope/despair/joy/sorrow/chocolate/coffee/excitement/boredom/sun/rain/books/films...in short, life.

I start the year as I mean to go on...music-wise, with this: Musique Expérimentale by Le Group de Recherches Musicales de la R.T.F., from 1962. The date, however, seems irrelevant, except to state the obvious, namely that it is timeless and as progressive as it was possible to be in 1962. Progressive, that is, in a way that would render common musical 'prog' of later years quaintly of its time in retrospect, despite the artists' efforts to appear forward-looking (?). Not that I mind a bit of (early) Yes, now and then.
Yes, with some knowledge of musical history, it might be possible to place Musique Expérimentale in time, yet so much of what followed in this field did not radically change. How could it? So it could be from any following decade. The template for all sonic adventures via tape and electronics is here, traces having been laid down before, but these sounds define the shapes of things to come.

This from between Xmas and New Year, when I found time to type between stuffing chocolate and mince pies in my face.
