Pierre Henry - Mass For The Present Time

Review by Turismo Universitário

Pierre Henry's Mass For The Present Time is a stunning work of electronic music that defies categorization. Released in 1967, the album is a groundbreaking exploration of sound and composition that remains relevant and influential to this day.

The album is divided into three parts, each of which is a unique and immersive sonic experience. The first part, titled "Kyrie," is a haunting and ethereal piece that builds slowly and steadily, culminating in a powerful crescendo of sound. The second part, "Gloria," is a more rhythmic and upbeat composition that showcases Henry's mastery of repetition and pattern.

The final part, "Sanctus," is perhaps the most experimental and challenging of the three. It features a barrage of fragmented sounds and dissonant textures, creating an intense and unsettling atmosphere that is both thrilling and disorienting.

Throughout the album, Henry demonstrates his skill at manipulating sound in innovative ways. He uses a variety of electronic instruments and techniques to create a rich and diverse sonic landscape, from the shimmering drones of "Kyrie" to the frenetic rhythms of "Gloria" and the chaotic noise of "Sanctus."
