{"product_id":"two-cycles-3","title":"Two Cycles","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilly Bultheel's debut solo album is an ambitious distillation of the composer's,' sprawling litany of influences and his unique approach to site-specific composition. A compilation of pieces created between 2016 and 2023, the album is a forceful testament to Bultheel's expansive performance practice and collaborations with cutting-edge visual artists like Anne Imhof and James Richards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from industrial music and metal as well as medieval and baroque polyphony, Bultheel devised a way to present this collection of works side-by-side. The record is split into two distinct cycles: the Snow Cycle, which collects Bultheel's electro-acoustic and compositional work, and the \u003ci\u003eGame Cycle\u003c\/i\u003e, which assembles his electronic productions. These two suites have unmistakable symmetry; Bultheel's traditional compositions are bolstered by his understanding of electronic production, while his electronic pieces are moulded by his knowledge of classical and traditional music. \u003ci\u003eTwo Cycles\u003c\/i\u003e is an album that exhibits duality, embodying the dichotomy of Bultheel's roles as both an ensemble composer and an electronic producer. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50445298205003,"sku":"2205149","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Two_Cycles_9128e787_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727035892","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/two-cycles-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
