RE: [microsound] Benhard Gunter starting place?

[lamm <lamm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd rather advice one of his early works- "Un Peu de Neige Salie" (resissued
twice on TotE) being an uncomparable milestone (and probably one of his best
works), plus it contains the only piece he ever made with pure software
sounds (Untitled I/94). His cd with John Duncan "Home Unspeakable" (Trente
Oiseaux)is also incredible, as well as his second "Details Agrandis" and his
3'' on Metamkine (Impossible Grey) which is really easy to find. I really
like his recent stuff, but it's so different from his early works...(almost
at times unrecognizable). I wish I could discover his work today to
rediscover the thrill i felt by discovering his work... O.

One of the not so obvious choices is his CD EP "For Henke", which I think is
one of the pieces by him I enjoy the most. It´s got his trademark
near-silence,
but it´s interrupted and expanded by some incredible clangy,
bell-like/chain-like sounds that sometimes elevate the piece to a volume
that´s
very unGünter-like. Very, very good.
