by Alvin Curran

Canti illuminati cover art

'Canti illuminati' layers choral voices, tape loops and electroacoustic processing into extended hypnotic drones. Alvin Curran draws on Central Asian throat singing traditions alongside minimalist repetition to create surreal, ominous soundscapes. The album remains a landmark in American experimental music of the early 1980s.
