PIONEERS – The Beginning of Danish Electronic Music
Out on February 21st.

Finally! A compilation that holds the earliest recordings of Dansih electronic music. The cd contains works by Danish electronic pioneers Else Marie Pade, Jørgen Plaetner, Bent Lorentzen, Gunner Møller Pedersen, Fuzzy, Svend Nielsen and Svend Christiansen.

The booklet contains interviews with all the composers except from Plaetner who died in 2002, and a general introduction to the environment surrounding the Danish electronic musicians in the late 1950 - early 60's.

The music has exclusively been offered to LJUD who are very grateful. We cleaned the reel tapes, digitalized the music, made interviews etc.

The double cd contains a lot of goodies: Tons of so far unreleased music and a piece from 1963 by Jørgen Plaetner where Danish poet Jørgen Gustava Brandt reads a poem on top. One of the earliest recordings in Denmark where music and poetry blends together. What a treat!
