Electronic Ballet Music

A 6 track ambient album (17m 20s) — released May 19th 2014 on Kontinental

Henk Bading's Electronic Ballet Music was written in 1956 and was first given at a performance by the Netherlands Ballet during the Holland Festival that year. The underlying idea is of conflict between opposed forces. For the first performance, choreographer J.Zielstra chose the figures of Cain and Abel to personify this conflict.

The electronic devices used were sine-wave generators, multi-vibrators, noise generators, a photo-electric siren, an electornic clavichord and electric percussion instruments; orthodox instrumental sounds were transformed electronically. The devices used for processing the sounds included electrical filters, artificial reverberation machines, tape recorders and a ring modulator.
