Acéré

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acéré. The intention was to create a piece about war. Different object sounds were recorded in the studio, to have a wider palette of percussion sounds. The idea is that these percussions gradually change. As in the repetition of a 'kata', a movement sequence in martial arts, the concentration becomes more intense and the sounds increasingly sharp, by playing on the harmonics they contain. To give a feeling of space to this movement, transformed soundscapes create an … more

Annazone

Description: "Annazone" (Anna area), analogue concept of proximity with Amazon (Brazil equatorial forest). The singer is of Brazilian origin. During early childhood, the singer was especially impressed by the songs and cries of the birds and insects of the Brazilian forest. This sound world is entangled on several levels (vegetation, smells, noise, light, humidity in constant variation with the hours of the day and the night.) It is astonishing how much the human being is first able listen carefully to the … more

Antigone: Musique

Description: "Antigone: Musique" was designed to accompany an amateur production of the Cocteau piece. Whose convoluted intervals evoke me the sweet-mean smile of the dark forces that slumber in us. The vocal enchantments the actors themselves, which allows to lengthen the actors during the representation thus creating (at least I hope!) interesting ambiguities...

Antiguas Preguntas

Description: This work is inspired on some pre-Columbian conceptions: man submitted to the forces of a giving universe, yet one that is demanding at the same time. In such a situation, man understands that all security is an illusion, and needs some kind of ritual in order to reconcile the opposites, and to restore the equilibrium of the cosmos. These trusts are not only protected at different levels of the musical structure of the piece, they also orient the criteria employed in the construction of sounds,… more

Barbe à papa (Arum manis)

Description: Recording of Jack Body's Barbe à Papa (Arum Manis). The original recording forms the basis of the tape and is the sound of a two stringed fiddle played by an Indonesian seller, recorded by the composer in 1977.

Birds of the Cathedral

Description: We invest the birds of human qualities to create imaginary connections between them and the men. This is what the old storytellers did too, but at bottom the parable spoke of the relationship between man and man. Finally - through music - this piece also speaks about them and us. His composer has tried to pay attention to what the birds themselves know and can do for themselves: the melody, the rhythm, and the possible meanings of their intonation, which have been familiar to us for so long.

The blazing macaw

Description: Recording of Charles Norman Mason's The blazing macaw. This work is for piano and tape. The painting "Self Portrait With Bonitio" by Frida Kahlo inspired this work. The parrot on her shoulder helped guide the communication between the piano and tape. The term "blazing" refers to two things: the bright colors of the parrot, as well as the painting itself, which musically is produced by the harmonic, rhythmic and timbral choice.

Bosco : jardín al compás del deseo

Description: “Bosco : jardín al compás del deseo” is based on Hyeronimus Bosch’s triptych and especially, the painting on the right, “Musicians’ Hell”. Instead of translating visual images into music, there has been a representation from the unconscious of some relevant aspects like human nature metaphors and the metamorphosis of the objects, the presence of unnoble metal waiting for the alchemic mutation, the oneiric, the fantastic. The characters dance at the hands of Bosco, a huge mask-ball in honor… more

Celula

Chants Sphériques

Description: Recording of Patrick Ascione's Chants Sphériques. This work exploits the mobility and successive metamorphoses of characteristic spatial figures. The sounds move according to various configurations specific to their meaning, but also inside these "frames of spaces" already in motion, or sometimes even outside these frames. Sound is therefore here to space, what color is to form for the painter. Original version is for 16 speakers.
