A hybrid thing in four movements, made of cut-up pieces, pasted, assembled, sowed parts that are alike and contrasted, and that I have named, for obvious reasons, the Frankenstein Symphony: an unusual electroacoustic adventure. Armed with a scalpel and a splicing (operational) block, I sampled several morphological organs from the works of 22 composers and friends (many of whom were students of mine), and with their imprudent blessings (on a stormy night?), brought to life this little acousmatic monster which I hold particularly close to my heart. The elements were chosen amongst the works according to their typo-morphological affinities or contrasts, and with formal considerations in mind. Though I often allowed myself to play layering games, mixing works together (as with E.Madan, D. Leduc, A. Vande Gorne and myself), never did I use filtering, internal editing, transpositions or processing on the sounds. In short, I had a great time, and hope that the legitimate parents of this child will survive the delirium of this mad scientist, and will enjoy it as much as I did. In fact, there are, here and there, some meetings, dialogues and counterpoints among the excerpts that are so obvious that one can't help but wonder why some composers didn't work together... In the end, this is only a game, with no other goal than to bring to light how astonishingly rich acousmatic music can be. Yet, more than recycling, it's first and foremost an homage to the inventiveness of these composers. Francis Dhomont Montreal, February 1997

excerpted interview w/ doris norton - Regarding the synergies , ‘electron’ affinity, marked by community of various interests, is the base of all my collaborations. It was a gathering of people with an affinity in conceiving the future, put together by the fate will. And I’m not beating around the bush not speaking of knights in shining armour dressed. Regarding the making of my solo releases, I am always so much amazed at those people who are able to pigeonhole my activities into well-determined periods of time. The years between late 70’s and mid 80’s were a truly intense period of my life and it is much difficult for me to see each event well focused and shaped. For the music it was the time of the tangible shift from analog to digital era and for me the time in which I began to use the computer to make music. In those years I was involved in many and various productions, for other artists too. I was much busy with my son (born on 1977), with sessions in the recording studios and research and music computing in my own music labs, with relocations of household and lab from the city to the country, with my activities as freelance journalist and as scriptwriter. I recorded part of my solo albums in various recording studios and part in my own music labs. The result of those overlapped activities and eventful times was a pile of recordings and encoded songs, many of which were mixed, mastered and issued, others left out unmixed on multitracks tapes, many others mixed down to a two-track recorder and not issued, and others again simply left out as data on floppy disks. The most experimental tracks, the ones I liked best, were not issued. Regarding “Underground”, it was almost all recorded at Sudio Fontana in Milano. from https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2012/09/doris-norton-interview-jacula-antonius.html
