Philomel

Album by Milton Babbitt

Philomel is a composition by American composer Milton Babbitt, completed in 1964. The work pairs a live soprano with electronic tape, combining rigorous serial organisation with extensive electronic manipulation of the vocal line to produce dense, pointillistic textures and marks a key exploration in Babbitt's engagement with studio technology and electroacoustic composition.
First released: 1995
