Cookie0024 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just very gently had a look at mine. The text on it is as follows: The music presented here was recorded in my home studio in Plumpton, Sussex. Experimenting with the theatre of the avant-garde, during the early seventies on eight-track, one-inch analogue tape. I had been asked to provide some music for the soundtrack of Lucifer Rising by Kenneth Anger. I had already been experimenting with some textures I thought might work and went about doubling the length of a piece for the film. The instruments and overdubs were treated at source with processing and sonic effects. In some cases sub-mixes were employed. The current mixes involved balancing the track levels with no additional effects for the final mix. Two of these ideas were to surface on Death Wish II ten years later. I'd been quite involved in what had gone on in art labs prior to Lucifer Rising. I had an interest in underground everything. Art college was a hotbed of everything that was alternative, whether it be poetry, music, film and certainly art. It's not well known but in The Yardbirds we did a number called Glimpses, and Glimpses was something that involved a bow. The bowed guitar wasn't a novelty to me; I really considered that it was making music. The manifestation of that is in The Song Remains The Same with the bow and the whole imagery of the hermit. Anyway, with Glimpses I was playing with tapes. I had all these sound effects, like the Staten Island ferry, crunching noises and the rattling of a locomotive with its lonesome horn. The juxtaposition of sound you could have taken out of the Fillmore East and put into an art lab. The bow was used extensively on the music featured here. When light beams were used with security alarms I had an idea of using tape recorders that were triggered by the beams. You could have a dancer affecting the music, interrupting the light beam. The musical combination was whatever the dancer would be inspired by; by the ambience of the audience and their own imagination. So the fact that I got involved with Kenneth Anger and Lucifer Rising was really just a step along the road of my interest in the extreme and alternative. Jimmy Page, March 2012 side one 1. LUCIFER RISING - MAIN TRACK Whilst in India I had acquired a bass tanpura, that provides a majestic drone. I applied a chant, tabla drums, bowed guitar, acoustic twelve string guitar, mellotron and a newly acquired ARP synthesiser that provided the Horns of Jericho. A mix of music was presented to Kenneth Anger and was used on showings of the first third of the film but not in the final cut. side two 1. INCUBUS This suggests the icy scratches and cutting embrace of the incubus at play. Instrument: Guitar 2. DAMASK Inspired by my journeys both on foot and through the recordings of the masters. A simple homage to the sarangi. Instrument: Six String Bowed Guitar 3. UNHARMONICS With the harmonics and demonstrative bowed glissandos the naked solo guitar moves cautiously through a sonic landscape. Instruments: Six String Bowed Guitar, Bowed Guitar 4. DAMASK - AMBIENT Damask Mix II returns from the original recording with a more dense, heavily perfumed ambience. Instrument: Six String Bowed Guitar 5. LUCIFER RISING - PERCUSSIVE RETURN The main title with a surprise visitor. I had forgotten about a percussive overdub courtesy of the ARP Odyssey synthesiser.

Cookie0024 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It seems that Jimmy reused some of his answers to the Lucifer Rising interview in the Summer 2006 issue of Classic Rock Magazine: http://archive.class...6/44/jimmy-page From the interview: Prior to your collaboration with Anger did you have an interest in underground films? “Well I had an interest in Underground everything. Art college was a hotbed of everything that was alternative, whether it be poetry, music, film certainly art.” Did you use what you learned at art school into your music? “I would say so. I’d been quite involved in what had gone on in art labs prior to Lucifer Rising. It’s not well known but I remember in The Yardbirds we did a number called Glimpses. And Glimpses was something that involved the bow. The bow guitar wasn’t a novelty to me; I really considered that it was making music. The manifestation of that is in The Song Remains The Same with the bow and the whole imagery with the hermit. Anyway, with Glimpses I was playing with tapes. I had all these sound effects, like the Staten Island Ferry, all these crunching noises and horns; there might have been Hitler’s speeches in it as well. All this stuff which you could have taken out of the Fillmore East and put into an art lab. When they used light beams as burglar alarms I had an idea of using tape recorders that were triggered by the interruption of light beams. You could have a dancer affecting the music. The combination was whatever the dancer would be inspired by, by the ambience of the audience and their own imagination. “So the fact that I got involved with Anger was really just a step along the road of my interest in what was quite alternative.” Interestingly he cut out the reference to Hitler for the vinyl record.

Cookie0024 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 The cardboard that the record sleeve is made of isn't that thick, seems quite flimsy to the touch. I'll try and post pics tomorrow if I get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
