Velocity

Description: Recording of Peter Batchelor's Velocity. Assorted ideas concerning outdoor, spatial environments crystallized into the concept of velocity from which this work evolved. The piece involves an exploration of the ways in which speed might be implied entirely through the use of sound, both real and 'unreal', and placed within a context that allows it free reign as a musical device. Cinematic elements suggesting movement have thus been combined with gestures and textures of varying energy and comple… more

Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco

Description: Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco. The title references to the importance of sensorial experience (dionis’aco) in concrete music creation, opposite to the microcomposition in the land of sonora synthesis, that is more rational (apol’neo). In this way, both working modes are contraposed all over the piece, though clearly limited sections with short silences or for the clear identity of different sonorous-musical materials. The last section highlights the characteristic motives… more

Landscape

Description: Recording of Artem Vassiliev's Landscape. This work is a part of a larger four movement work titled Life in the Outside. Movements being: Dream, Landscape, Game, and Hymn. Often simple things, which surround us, can be transformed in our mind into something new and this work explores this concept. Generally, there are different sources for each movement, except for one sound, which is common for all movements. The sound of bells is easy to recognize, especially in the first and the last piece.

Ssaufhapt

Description: Recording of John Edward Cousin's Ssaufhapt. For electronics. The title of this work embodies a quote from the book "Art and Illusion" by EH Gombrich. While writing of the role of culturally inured expectations on the way we gain meaning from an art object. Engrossed in what Boulez called "The unpredictable periplus" of the creative task, it can sometimes feel as if the work already exists in some dim, pre-formed state and all that the composer need to do is to bring it fully into the light.

Relief

Description: Recording of Jens Hedman's Relief. This work creates an almost visual wall of sounds, where certain sounds stand out in relief against the background of others. Certain central sections were created, reused and readapted throughout the piece, resulting in something entirely different. In this way, the music is born continuously out of the work's earlier sounds. The sound material originated from the large number of sounds that were created for an earlier work, 'Respirit' for percussion ensemble… more

ChAnGE'S Music

Description: Recording of Joseph Lloyd Anderson's ChAnGE'S Music. A translation of the composer's words, from a letter to pianist Hadley McCarroll, illuminate that the composer tends "to think of ChanG E S Music as a phonographic fantasy because it plays out in each of Dellaria's three sound recording modes: Record-as-Document, Pseudo-Document, and abstraction. In order to really begin to understand him, I believe the listener needs to have an idea of ​​who [composer John] Cage is and why he is interesting.… more

At dawn, the natives come down from the mountains to meet at a farm belonging to a member of the community. The host has displayed on the ritual table two baked clay vessels in th… more
