Classical Music Review: Turangalîla Symphony
Dallas Morning News TX
There’s a virtuoso piano part written for Ms. Loriod although much of it is buried in loud orchestrations. And repeatedly the ondes Martenot an early electronic keyboard instrument lends otherworldly glows and whooshes of sound. There’s little of the birdsong prominent elsewhere in Messiaen’s oeuvre but one does get his signature off-kilter rhythms borrowed from Indian music. Sometimes the winds seem to be dancing The Rite of Spring in saris. Turangalîla is a major score by a major composer musical theorist and teacher whose students included Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen. But is it great music? The fifth and final movements open with themes of astonishing banality.

Four Electronic Pieces 1959-1966 (Sub Rosa)
SF Weekly CA
From its late-’80s start Deep Listening inspired a following for Oliveros and many meditative sonic retreats. But this new collection of her early long works finds her learning how to actively process sound—often harshly but with an ear toward absorbing sonic material that would inform the philosophy for which she’s best known. Oliveros recorded three of Four’s pieces near the end of her work in the San Francisco Tape Music Center a Mills-based electronic music studio she ran in the early ’60s with fellow experimental composers Terry Riley Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick. Made with simple tape loops and oscillators this trio of tracks portrays her ability to wrangle electronic noise into compelling structures that build from solitary buzzing signals into pulsing patterns and waves of wailing high-register tones. But the intimate home-recorded piece “Time Perspectives” proves most engaging. Here she juxtaposes radio voices atmospheric chimes mouth sounds and the inexplicable household plonk against the drones and whooshes caused by manipulated tape speeds (and the reverberations she got by recording in an empty bathtub). As a piece it perfectly portrays Oliveros’ burning desire to make sonic art out of her surroundings a principle that informed Deep Listening and made her a mentor to many in the realm of experimental electronic music.
