Description
GLENN BRANCA Tonal Plexus (Symphony No. 1) 1991 2LP MINT
UNPLAYED COPY OF BRANCA'S MASSIVE PIECE OF WORK
GLENN BRANCATonal Plexus (Symphony No. 1)
Music in Four Movements for Multiple Guitars, Keyboards, Brass and Percussion
1991 FRENCH DANCETERIA (DANLP081/D560) 2 LP PRESSING OF BRANCA'S MONUMENTAL FIRST SYMPHONY "Tonal Plexus"
SUPERB COPY - POSSIBLY NEVER BEEN PLAYED
Branca's first symphony is a massive behemoth of guitars, noise and alternate tunings with players that include the Theoretical Girls' Wharton Tiers and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo.
The first movement begins with a distant groan, like some Aboriginal folk music. By the time the thundering drums begin, the sound has become as grand and immovable as a monolith.
Branca's brilliance lies in his merger of rock with 20th century classical, as well as his ability to create rumbling, careening crescendos into infinity.
This 1981 recording shows the roots of everything from Sonic Youth to Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Mogwai, Merzbow and the Boredoms to Black Dice and Lightning Bolt - even post rock groups like Tortoise and Sigur Ros - just listen to the ambient, repetitive pulsing of the second movement.
Always defiant, always challenging, Branca's Symphony No. 1 is one of the most raucous and inspiring compositions of the late 20th century
