Ruth White

Flowers of Evil (1969) ...

American composer Ruth White ...

"Also in 1969, Mrs. White followed “Seven Trumps…” with the highly experimental release “Flowers of Evil”(1969), a record based on French poet Charles Baudelaire’s volume of poetry called “Les Fleurs du malput”, placing Baudelaire’s words to an electronic music.  The poems, already dark and gloomy, were accented eerily by White’s use of “electroaccoustic” music – more specifically the Moog synthesizer.   Once again Ruth music was published on Limelight Records." ... cottoncandycastles.wordpress.com

Flowers of Evil ...

 

"pleasure will vanish like a cloud over the horizon, like a sylph vanishing into the wings of a stage. each moment is devouring some portion of that delight which is granted to every man for his season of existence

"three thousand and six hundred times an hour, the second whispers: ‘remember!' swiftly, with the voice of an insect, the present says: 'i'm already your past, and i have drained your life with my loathewme suckers!'

... Charles Baudelaire
