    <description>[traduction fran&#231;aise non disponible] Othermusic Magazine (New York City):
    February 16th, 2000 &#8212; Roger Doyle&#8217;s Babel (SIDO 003/007, Silverdoor, Ireland) 5 CD
    Box: Doyle has long been Ireland&#8217;s foremost exponent of musique concr&#232;te and
    experimental composition. His late &#8217;70s / early &#8217;80s work under the moniker
    Operating Theatre is somewhat legendary, with releases on Steven Stapleton&#8217;s United
    Dairies label. This astonishing set marks the culmination of his most ambitious work to date,
    recorded over a ten year span of time. The first 3 CDs alone are works of true genius that
    combine the finest elements of, say, Pierre Henry and Nurse With Wound. &gt; &gt; Granslost
    Magazine (Sweden): &#8220;Roger Doyle ought to be canonized (declared a saint!) [&#8230;] Those
    who have not heard this Babel collection have missed a whole lot in life. What drama! A lot of
    electroacoustic music composers are put to shame &#8212; they should all bow deeply for Roger
    Doyle. His music is warm, funny and richly elaborate &#8212; a gold mine!&#8221;

    <description>[traduction fran&#231;aise non disponible] The music on these CDs was composed on
    a Fairlight Computer Music Instrument between 1983 and 1988. Together with the Synclavier (made
    famous by Frank Zappa&#8217;s use of it) the Fairlight was among the first synthesisers
    controlled by a computer. It had a sampler, a sequencer (called &#8220;Page R&#8221;),
    on-screen waveform display &#8212; very popular with bands on Top of the Pops showing off their
    new Fairlights &#8212; and a central proccessor unit (CPU) that took two people to lift. In
    1982 I was involved in a studio that bought one, and after two months teaching myself how to
    use it I warmed to its possibilities and limitations. There were things it did that no other
    piece of equipment has ever done since, yet at the same time I was forced to input material
    into the sequencer monophonically. The sequencer held up to eight monophonic lines, forcing me
    to think contrapuntally. This 8-voice polyphony was like having a constantly changing chamber
    octet at my disposal. By 1988 it was gathering dust in the corner of the studio having been
    superceeded by newer technology and fashion, so I made an offer and bought it cheaply for my
    own embryonic home studio. In 1990 I sold it and it drifted out of my life. I made great use
    out of it &#8212; sometimes composing pieces in a few hours &#8212; and have very fond memories
    of the Fairlight.</description>

    <description>[traduction fran&#231;aise non disponible] The music on this CD represents Roger
    Doyle&#8217;s early works, re-packaged and re-mastered in 2002. It includes his extremely rare
    self-released 1975 debut LP &#8220;Oizzo No&#8221; and his second LP &#8220;Thalia&#8221; from
    1978, originally released on CBS Classics, all on the one 77 minute CD. The earliest piece is
    Bitter-Sweet Suite for out-of-tune piano composed when he was 18, and the latest,
    &#8220;Thalia,&#8221; his first large-scale electronic piece, composed at the age of
    26.</description>
