This is a re-up of the first Jean Tinguely disc I posted back in November 2008. Together with this week’s other Tinguely posts, it represents more than 80% of the published recordings of his sculptures. To complete the picture, one would have to add several tracks from various compilation releases:

  • the 7inch record coming with the catalogue of the Sounds of Sculpture exhibition at Minami Gallery, Tokyo, 1963, with sounds recorded by Toshi Ichiyanagi
  • the Meta-Harmonie II track included on the Meridians 2 compilation cassette on Touch, UK, 1983
  • a piano transcription by Rohan Drape of the Relief Meta-mechanique Sonore I, on the Slave Piano compilation LP, Melbourne, Australia, 1999
  • a string quartet transcription (!) titled Hegel on the DeFlockeD String Quartet CD, Melbourne, Australia, 2000

    Still have this one. Happily. More Tinguely to come?

    Well, that’s pretty much Tinguely’s complete audio works, as far as I know. Next week, we’re are moving to other shores.

    My boat is at the ready.

    Thanks so much for all of these Tinguely audio works. Totally amazing.

    Thank you. While Tinguely’s art work is rather well-known the world over, the sonic side of his work is hard to come by. I hope to address this difficulty with these posts.
