CAPAC Musical Portraits #3

Here is another installment in the CAPAC Musical Portrait series posts.

This one features the Larry Lake record missing from the post of January 14,2013 (featuring the work of the other members of the Canadian Electronic Music Ensemble).At the time of that post, I was missing the record from the sleeve and I promised to post it if I ever found it.

Well,it's been a stretch but, (ahem)-
PRESTO! here it is- compliments (once again) of my father, who is much better these days at finding records than I am.

He is also responsible for finding the other two records in this post; part of a collection of some 60 or so Musical Portraits which he managed to find. These were among the duplicates,many of which he sent to me.

Thanks, Daddy-O!

I focused my attention here on records containing electronic music although acoustic instruments are also in evidence, both in the Bruce W Pennycook and in the Rudolf Komorous.

  1. Thanks DrE for more of these Musical Portraits. I'm glad your dad found the Larry Lake record. Excellent stuff. It was well worth the wait. I also thought the Rudolf Komorous record was great too. I hope there are more Musical Portraits forthcoming.

    3. I should mention that the "Updates about Old Posts" page is probably the best way to ask questions in this blog, but I decided to post my new email address that the public can use to correspond with me in private. We shall see how this goes.
