In Else Marie Pades electronic music works from 1950s-1980s we find a rare combination of compositional strategies: ‘concrete sound’ recordings ranging from the sounds of everyday life to prepared acoustical instruments, side by side with pure electronic sounds, all manipulated and structured through compositional operations of strict serialism – composed for radio broadcast or to be performed as theatrical performances or as multimedia sound installations.
We are at the birth of electronic avantgarde music and musical modernism in Europe beginning in the 1950s, where the horrors of 2. World War permeats everything including art and music – much like today. In this atmosphere of trauma and hope Else Marie Pade discovers sound wave interference that she uses as an aesthetic technique to create a sonic continuum with ‘good’ and ‘evil’ as its opposite poles.
With this palette of early electronic sound techniques, what does war sound like? Doomsday sound like? Or love and salvation sound like?
