Francis Dhomont – Frankenstein symphony (CD)



Francis Dhomont (born in 1926, in Paris, France) is an electroacoustic music composer. This is his fourth album (4 tracks = 63.46 minutes). Here`s what it sounds like.
1 – Allegro = oscillating between ambient noise, lo-fi bursts, weird experimentations cutups and machine like sounds = the last breath of a dying apparatus perhaps.
2 – Andante = random rhythmic elements + found sounds + a dash of ambience / minimalism with subtle experimentations going on.
3 – Scherzo (Giocoso) = urban field recordings + trumpet samples + lo-fi goodness + various found sounds = a symphony / cacophony of musique concrete.
4 – Finale = ambient minimalism + strange rhythmic banging + weird found sounds / noises, experiments with peaceful ambient elements thrown in. Good stuff.
