In 2012, Rehberg began an archival project, reissuing work from the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM), a collective of musicians working in the 1950s onwards, headed by Pierre Schaeffer, who had experimented with the potential of electronics. Rehberg’s Recollection GRM series issued music by Schaffer, Bernard Parmegiani, Iannis Xenakis, Beatriz Ferreyra and more.

Bernard Parmegiani -  Pop Eclectic (1968)





Other collaborators included Z’ev, Ramon Bauer, and Nik Void of British band Factory Floor, with whom he formed the duo NPVR. In a major collaboration, he also worked with French artist Gisèle Vienne on a number of projects, soundtracking her work which spans dance, visual art and theatre.

Z'ev - Headphone Music Track 1




He outlined his broadminded approach to music in a 2016 interview – “music these days is very much sold in its own little box … I have always been not very interested in that” – and explained his views on tone: “I have always found that if you want to make something noisy, you have to make something that is harmonic as well. Dissonance and resonance have to co-exist, for the other to work, I think.”

Artists paying tribute to Rehberg included Mouse on Mars, who said: “This completely and utterly absurd. Not ready for a world without Peter Rehberg and Editions Mego.”

Mouse On Mars - Chagrin



Ambarchi wrote: “We are all absolutely heartbroken.” Alessandro Cortini said: “Safe travels Peter Rehberg: you and your incredible contributions to the world of sound will live forever.”

Classic sixties electronica -

Charles Wuorinen - Time's Encomium (1969)



Charles Wuorinen (*1938): Time's Encomium for synthesized & processed sound (1969) -- Pulitzer Prize Winner 1970

Wuorinen created Time's Encomium using the RCA Synthesizer at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in New York, a machine that several other prominent American composers employed during those early days of electronic music (including Milton Babbitt).

Okay, back to those tunes and scores that make the movies - today we celebrate Stanley Kubrick.

Dmitri Shostakovich - Second Waltz



Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind - Main Title (The Shining)



György Ligeti - Adventures




György Ligeti - Lux Aeterna



It was this film that turned me onto the avant-garde side of classical music back in the 70s. I now have two box sets of Ligeti's music plus six other discs by the composer.
