Description

Gavin Bryars

THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC

OBSCURE NO. 1 (1975, UK)

English composer Gavin Bryars works in a variety of styles from minimalism to free improvisation. This is one of his earliest recordings & remains one of his best. “The Sinking of the Titanic” features Bryars on piano; Angela Bryars, music box & Miss Eva Hart, Spoken Voice. Working from various sound sources related to the sinking of the Titanic each performer is allowed to construct his own music. “Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet” is a tramp improvising the hymn accompanied by ensemble musicians. Obscure was a conceptual label begun by Brian Eno in the mid 1970’s producing some unique experimental music records.

Record is in NM+ condition (appears unplayed) and jacket is NM- with very light chipping to bottom seam edge & very light ring wear to jacket front (typical of the label).

I recently acquired a small but superb collection of modern, experimental, improvised, & electronic music. I will be offering 50 or so items from this collection at the end of each month. This kind of material rarely surfaces so keep looking for future auctions.
