Laurie Spiegel – Sediment (1972)

On Wired.com, Geeta Dayal spoke with the composer and electronic-music pioneer Laurie Spiegel. The reason? A bit of Spiegel’s 1972 piece “Sediment” has cropped up in the film adaptation of The Hunger Games. A 9-minute slice of pure atmospheric portent, “Sediment” is a perfect fit for any dystopian flick. Unlike a great deal of self-styled “experimental” music, it manages to deploy a mood of grimness with a counter-intuitively light touch. [Source]

    Because it was from the same time as the Per Nørgård piano piece I played yesterday. I will re-post it on ELECTRONIC20.COM, though. It fits there as well.
