“Chromatibach”

Finally, the origin is discovered – the home planet of counterpoint, the source of fugues. It was always implausible that such balanced beauty was chained to one planet – and now we confirm that these semi-symmetric vibrations are at home throughout the universe.

Featuring Bach’s otherworldly organ prelude BWV 649, chromatically shifted and with effects.

[zen279]

Sigil of Time & Mirocaw

“COVERED WITH MOSS trilogy”

A theme in three variations: from dark ambient, via a subtle hint of psychedelic, to a more minimalistic neoclassical theme. It kind of showcases the evolution of ambient music from classical minimalism and use of ambient noise to a more post industrial sound.

“The Preserving Machine”

How to preserve music from oblivion…

Put the sheet music on the machine. Wait. An insect or similar kind of animal is produced. Let it live and transform. Put it back on the machine. Wait. A new sheet music is produced. Play it. (over an idea by Philip K. Dick)

Jazzaria

“Symphonic Kernel”

Part of creating something is enjoying partial composition – knowing that what you’re making is incomplete and mutable, and that (whether or not it is completed) it shares that with every other idea and attempt that has ever been or will be. A full symphonic experience is a non-trivial affair – but a kernel can imply, and belie its partiality.

Featuring orchestral strings, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, timpani, snare and bass drum, percussion, trombone, and french horns.

1 Fernando Curiel “Vectores Mágicos 3”
2 Eduardo Wilde “Trío para oboe, clarinete y piano”
3 Damián Ratto “Hitherto”
4 Néstor Ciravolo “La permeabilidad del tiempo”

Los compositores Fernando Curiel, Eduardo Wilde, Damián Ratto y Néstor Ciravolo son, a día de hoy, los integrantes de la asociación musical argentina sin ánimo de lucro Ars Contemporanea, que promueve y difunde obras de autores locales y del exterior.

En nuestra primera aproximación a esta asociación desde el sello Fortín Artesonoro, hemos querido dar muestra de su faceta acústica instrumental, reuniendo cuatro obras, una por cada uno de los miembros. Damos lugar, de este modo también, a la primera referencia con obras exclusivamente acústicas en nuestro sello. Una selección de obras en las que intervienen la flauta travesera solista, un trío para oboe, clarinete y piano, el violonchelo solista, y un cuarteto de viento madera (flauta travesera, oboe, clarinete y fagot) y que tiene una muy bella y elegante expresividad tímbrica e interpretativa, ofreciendo un repertorio especialmente emocionante y cuidado, y que tiene también el atractivo de una concepción en la que la energía de cada gesto de los intérpretes es correlativa a una energía sonora musical a través del instrumento, sin otros ingredientes.

The Hathaway Family Plot – The Next Room

The Hathaway Family Plot – The Next Room

The Hathaway Family Plot

“The Next Room”

In the fall of 2020 my regular gig playing piano for ballet classes was forced by COVID to go virtual. I still commuted to campus and broadcast my playing from an empty studio. The building was being renovated, so a small group of construction workers walked the student-less hallways. Between classes, I began to experiment with recording my playing from a small portable recorder placed in the hallway outside the studio–partly to capture the strange whistle that one particular corridor often produces. The result is a hiss-heavy album wherein construction workers are heard walking by, an instructor’s voice is faintly heard far away, and the piano also sounds like a distant thing.*

The resulting recordings resonated with me emotionally in a way that felt appropriate for the year. It’s been hard to see and recognize beauty. Truth is relentlessly attacked, obfuscated, and denied. It feels like we’re stuck in a room outside the room where something beautiful may be happening. We know or believe that it exists, but we can’t see it or touch it. We’re being kept out of that space.

Headphones are recommended.

*(There is also one song recorded at home from the hallway outside my office–the recorder set next to a dog who is resting in his bed, nervously smacking his lips. Is it a strange kind of ASMR? Is this whole album? It may be to me.)
