Arthur Petronio
's one and only LP, now reissued by Metaphon, was originally published by the Belgian Igloo label in 1979. An extravagant DIY montage of musique concrète and sound poetry. In addition to Petronio's voice several female readers/performers contribute to this theatre of voices as guest vocalists. An album as unusual as his lifecycle. Born Switzerland 1897, Petronio was a French-Italian musician, poet and painter. He was a young violin virtuoso studying with Belgian master violinist
Eugène Ysaÿe
, and played solo violin for Belgian
King Leopold II
at the age of 9. He was attracted to the avant-garde and visionary ideas of
Gesamtkunstwerk
and developed and presented his "Verbophonie" in 1919, integrating sound poetry into regular music scores. He was a friend to
Kandinsky
,
Mondrian
,
Cocteau
and
Picasso
, and published several avant-garde journals and poetry books with participation of like-minded artists. He wrote many scores for solo instruments, small ensembles, orchestral works, and operas and extended his musical ideas with new possibilities of tape composition.
