BROUK, JOANNA - Sounds Of The Sea

(Joanna Brouk) was an extremely early new age type musician who had a radio show on KPFA even before Hearts of Space. She put out five tapes of music recorded between 1976 and 1982. \r\nYou can hear an early interview (1972) and some of her most minimal and severe drone music via this link:\r\nhttp://disquiet.com/2008/02/28/joanna-brouk/\r\n(These are) original, sealed tapes from the 80s, although she updated the dates every time she did a new pressing (Sounds of the Sea is from 1981 but says 1990). - Douglas Mcgowan. "Brouks most unusual, ambitious, and remarkable recording consists of two side-long suites, Atavesta, and The Sailor And The Nymph. Lonesome whistles, flutes, drones whale songs, and wordless vocal wails suggest the experimental album Kate Bush never made, or a de-progged "Sunborne" by Constance Demby. A startling, haunting work, highly recommended." - Yoga.
