"In 1992 I was given a 2CD with historical electroacoustical music from Slovakia for review. I did write the review but this release seems to have been forgotten all along. Nevertheless the music is really good. Produced in the Experimental Studio Of the Slovak Radio during the totalitarian regime by composers who had to fight the denouncement of their music. And still they continued producing these works.
Below I quote from the booklet:
Jozef Malovec (1933) - Orthogenesis is the first authentic composition in the field of electroacoustic music that was composed in the Expermiental Studio of the Slovak Radio in Bratislava. Malovec graduated in composition from the Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts in Prague. He stood at the the creation of the Experimental Studio.
see more about Malovec here [ http://www.radioart.sk/proj/ifem94/pages/malovec_en.html ]
Peter Kolman (1937) - e15. This is Kolman's sixth and last composition in the Experimental Studio. He currently lives and works in Vienna. This composition won 2nd prize at Bourges in 1974.
Miroslav Bazlik (1931) - simple electronic symphony. It is arranged into four following rather indepentent parts. A polarity of traditional and unconventional can be foundin the use of vocal or precomposed material in a variety of transformations by studio means so that the cycles loses neither homogeneity nor tension.
Ivan parik (1936) - music to vernissage for flute and tape is one of many instrumental and electroacoustic compositioins in whicht the author manifests his friendship with painter and graphic artist Milos Urbasek.
Roman Berger (1930) - epitaph for nicolaus copernicus. The composer performance of Roman Berger shows features of his comtemplative nature, binding logic of thinking with pregnacny of problem formulation. The composition gained an honourable mention in Bourges in 1974.
