Smetak, Walter -& Conjunto De Microtons-
Interregno
Very last copy! Swiss cellist, composer, inventor of musical instruments, sculptor and writer Walter Smetak became a leading figure in the Brazilian avant-garde. His 1980 album 'Interregno', which he recorded with Conjunto De Microtons, is now reissued on vinyl, including an insert. Produced by Carlos Pita, the LP features microtonal guitars, performed collectively - another step in the use of unconventional tunings that Smetak had been exploring -, and in permanent dialogue with a Yamaha electric organ that assured him the possibility of prolonged sounds.
