Andy Wilson and Ben Watson on the Music of Iancu Dumitrescu

A two part exploration of The Music of Iancu Dumitrescu and Ana-Maria Avram with Andy Wilson and Ben Watson, broadcast on ResonanceFM Radio over two nights, 29th-30th December 2009.

Born and bred under the yoke of Ceaucescu’s 'communist' regime in Rumania, Dumitrescu proposes an intolerable intensity that blossoms and decays like natural sound in cosmic space. For his admirers and proselytisers, Dumitrescu’s music has wiped the field of modern music clean and restarted everything: he really is the ground-zero sound artist promised in everyone else’s publicity. Now Andy Wilson (author of Faust: Stretch Out Time 1970-1975) and Ben Watson (author of books on Frank Zappa and Derek Bailey) join forces to present two 3-hour programmes of his music sourced from Spectrum Festivals in Bucharest and London (the latter supported by Resonance FM).
