moniek darge: bratschebraut

First time vinyl issue of key works from the Belgian artist-musician Moniek Darge. Following a deep-excavation of the Logos archives London's Horn Of Plenty presents Bratschebraut -- four works utilizing prepared violin, electronics, tapes, and voice. These recordings are from the same era as Moniek's classic Sounds of Sacred Places LP (1980). Bratschebraut extends the story of Moniek's work during this period: playful, intimate, raw, and quite unique. Although they were recorded across a seven-year period and were not intended to sit together, the music on Bratschebraut, seen retrospectively, captures a pivotal era in Moniek's artistic development. A period that saw her challenge, destroy, then create anew. Bratschebraut both a significant addition to Moniek's catalog and an essential historical document. Bratschebraut comes in an on red vinyl; housed in a full-color sleeve with deluxe PVC bag; includes 28-page booklet containing artist's notes, previously unpublished photos, and details from the original graphic score for ManMo. Edition of 300.
