MOTHER MALLARD

"MOTHER MALLARD'S PORTABLE MASTERPIECE CO. 1970-1973"

Cuneiform

This CD gathers the first composicions by Mother Mallard, a pioneer band of electronic music, founded by David Borden, Steve Drews and Linda Fisher. These are five legendary works, recorded between 1970 and 1973, where the band proved his great imagination by creating a dense electronic music. "Easter" (1970) and "Music" (1972), composed by David Borden, have powerful rhythms forming very complex structures. These rhythms even sustain the melodies, in the shape of hypnotic sequences that keep oscillating around a determined basis. "Cloudscape for Peggy" (1970), composed by Borden, and "Train" (1970), composed by Drews, are a sample amazingly advanced to its time, of what Space Music would be. These two themes are slow, full of unearthly environments and magical melodies. "Ceres Motion" (1973), composed by Drews, ranges between psychedelic rock and Space Music.
