MOTHER MALLARD
"LIKE A DUCK TO WATER"
Cuneiform Records
Albums like this one help the listener to understand the origins and the evolution of electronic music better than any book. Mother Mallard, a band whose creation was intimately shaped by the birth of the synthesizers by Robert Moog, with whom they were in close contact, already had an important musical history when in the mid seventies they created the compositions that are gathered in this album. Following the innovative spirit of their earliest creations, Mother Mallard explore the beauty and the complexity of rhythmic sequences and those of other elements that shaped the identity marks of Space Sequencer Music, while at the same time adopting a structure typical of Minimalism, directly linking it all with the experiences that other pioneers were carrying out in the field of scholar musical experimentation. It is no coincidence that Mother Mallard be a band described by many as a predecessor of Tangerine Dream, both due to their imaginative use of sequencers and layers of melodies overlapping one another developed with synthesizers, and at the same time having featured collaborations of such artists as John Cage. Those different ways of experimentation, at times being completely at odds with one another as they are, fit perfectly well with Mother Mallard.
