Andrey Kiritchenko interprets Second Violin – VE.COND.SIO.LIN

Andrey Kiritchenko interprets Second Violin – VE.COND.SIO.LIN

(May 1, 2003)

“Second Violin was an improvisation group featuring Jeff Surak, Zann Hoffman, Adam Bohman and Rinus van Alebeek – I believe the latter two collaborated via the postal system. The busy as ever bee Andrey Kiritchenko remixes, or maybe more appropiate, recycles recordings by Second Violin in his “usual” laptop manner. None of the bands normal work can be easily recognized in here. It beeps and hisses, hums and hisses. Over the course of twenty minutes he works nicely through the material and transforms the pure acoustic material into pure electronic material.” – Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly

Joan La Barbara : Voice is the Original Instrument

Joan La Barbara

Voice is the Original Instrument

label: Lovely Music

ref: LCD 3003

players: Joan La Barbara

With the benefit of hindsight, an essential document presented in a 2 CD set featuring two different aspects of the solo work of this singer. The first presents a detailed experimental exploration of vocal extended possibilities [typological] ?overtones, diphony, vocal gesture, performance- that emerge as a result from research and contemporary music performance (notably, the influence of electronics in vocal research and the encouragement of improvisation through strangement) or reactions to various practices ?action, minimal music- and cultural impasses.

The second CD features a more complex/ compositional/ electronic aspect of her work, featuring samples, multilayering (interacting with her other voice/s) and processing through effects and electronic devices or, simply, the development of an instrumental language that would have a deep impact in subsequent experimental developments.

Con la perspectiva del paso del tiempo, un documento esencial en 2 CDs que incluye dos vertientes distintas del trabajo en solitario de esta cantante. El primero presenta una detallada exploracin experimental de posibilidades vocales ampliadas [tipologa] ?armnicos, difona, gestos voclicos, performance- que emergen de la investigacin y la ejecucin en la contempornea (sobre todo, la influencia de la electrnica en la investigacin vocal y la incitacin a la improvisacin mediante el extraamiento) o reacciones a diversas prcticas ?acciones musicales, minimal- e impases culturales.

El segundo CD alude a aspectos ms complejos/ compositivos/ electrnicos/ e incluye samples, superposicin (interaccin con su propia voz) y procesado mediante efectos y aparatos electrnicos o, simplemente, el desarrollo de un lenguaje instrumental que habra de tener un profundo impacto en ulteriores desarrollos experimentales.

players: Per Henrik Wallin (piano), Lars-Gran Ulander (Alto sax), Peter Olsen (drums)

Situated in the post-free era, parallel to the early 70s ECM prelude, by means of open, extended pieces featuring dense interactions akin to the earlier and renewed harmonic materials and new approaches to form and interaction of the latter, and thoroughly pregnant with reminiscences of groups ?Circle- or individuals ?Jarret-.

Situada en la era post-free, paralela al preludio de ECM a principios de los 70, a travs de cortes abiertos, extensos con densas interacciones propias de aquel y renovados materiales armnicos y nuevos planteamientos interactivos y formales de este y salpicados por doquier de influencias de grupos ?Circle- o individuos ?Jarret-.

label: Carbon 7

ref: C7-076

players: Franck Balestracci (Keyboards, Drums, Percussion, Effects, Voice), Marianne Denoa (violin), Rginald Trigaux (guitar), Guy Segers (bass, voice, vocals)

Akin to early industrial reflections, influenced by modular timbres, techno and electric and ethnic jazz aesthetics, the tracks feature concrete and processed sources which contribute to enhance the flow and create contrasts with greyer environments.

Gratkowski/Mengelberg : Vis–vis

Gratkowski/Mengelberg

Vis–vis

label: Leo Records

ref: CD LR 476

players: Frank Gratkowski (alto sax, clarinets), Misha Mengelberg (piano)

Apparently belonging to the piano-reeds tradition, this duo presents an alternative route punctuated by contemporary melodic elements, multi-focal, simultaneous dialogues displaying a complete coherence and yet, speaking of different things: a disarming lack of artifice carefully matured in an original interactive setting.

La apariencia de este do, que recuerda a los de piano-vientos, esboza una ruta alternativa puntuada por elementos meldicos contemporneos, dilogos simultneos, multifocales, coherentes que, sin embargo, plantean cosas distintas: una conmovedora falta de artificio madurada con esmero en un contexto interactivo original.

Hidden Doors

label: Mondes Elliptiques

ref: E.Q.05.01

players: Daniel de los Santos (composer), John Sellekaers (composer), Mathias Delplanque (Ernst Karel (trumpet), Eric Heinroth (synth), Masami Akita (noise)

A carefully unfolded electroacoustic cloth, embroidered with succinct colour explosions, if exposed with measure. The impression is of black tissue, of distance between motifs, of sparseness and textures, of horizontal calmness. The unfulfilled promises, as sustained suspense, create a sense of expectation in spite of the void.

Un pao electroacstico desplegado con esmero, bordado con escuetas explosiones de color, aunque mesuradas. La impresin es la de un tejido negro, de distancia entre los motivos, de raleza y texturas, de calma horizontal. Las promesas incumplidas, como el suspense prolongado, crea la sensacin de expectacin a pesar del vaco.

label: Altrisuoni

ref: AS 207

players: D?incise (laptop, processing, objects), Gel Riondel (Saxes, Clarinet, flute), Cyril Bondi (Drums), Christian Graf (guitar), Nicolas Sordet (electronic luthier)

The various fibres that make up the sounds, the unusual perspectives on the instruments, the unprejudiced blend of backgrounds ?noise, electroacoustic, jazz, objects, processing, concrete- transform this work into a ongoing gush of fresh air, stating without qualms its unrelenting energy in a remarkably creative interaction, or a narrative that unveils its coherence at every turn, completely devoid of anticipation.

Las diversas fibras que componen los sonidos, las perspectivas inusuales acerca de los instrumentos, la fusion resuelta de bagajes ?ruido, electroacstica, jazz, objetos, procesado, concreta- transforman este trabajo en un soplo constante de aire fresco, afirmando sin reparos su energa incesante en una interaccin harto creativa, o una narrativa que revela su coherencia a cada giro, totalmente desprovista de lo previsible.

Intrinsic Motion

label: Non Visual Objects

ref: NVO 008

players: Richard Garet (sound art, electroacoustics)

Deserted landscapes, their sheer dimension hinted by the lack of references and margins. Everything is a threshold of monochrome impressions and delicate subtlety. No limits. The canvas is placed horizontally remaining at the limit of the indistinctly perceived yet carefully blended with concrete brushstrokes and blinding harmonics.

Paisajes desiertos, su mera dimension sugerida por la falta de referentes y mrgenes. Todo es umbral de impresiones moncromas y delicada sutileza. Sin lmites. El lienzo se sita horizontal, ubicado en los confines de lo percibido a medias, al tiempo que cuidadosamente mezclado con brochazos concretos y armnicos cegadores.

Waiting

label: Leo Records

players: Mark O?Leary (guitar, e-bow, electronics, loops), Cuong Vu (trumpet, electronics and loops), Tom Rainey (drums, percussion).

Permanent redefinition of language, dyed with shades of a single colour, materials developed from within in continuous processes of reinvention. Doing away with rhythm and harmony centres, the pieces turn in wobbly circles. Coherence reached through a constant dismantlement of linguistic perspectives and distilled expression.

Redefinicin permanente del lenguaje, teida de matices moncromos, materiales desarrollados desde el interior, en procesos continuos de reinvencin. Prescindiendo de centros rtmicos y armnicos, los cortes giran en crculos irregulares. El sentido emerge del constante desmontaje de perspectivas lingsticas y la expresin depurada.

Displaying a complete lack of prejudice in relation to means employed ?modular sound banks, samples, concrete, instrumental or processed sources- sound is seen from a secondary perspective, related to the visual, not per se but rather as side product.

Haciendo gala de la ausencia de prejuicios en cuanto a medios empleados ?bancos de sonidos modulares, fuentes concretas, instrumentales o procesadas ?el sonido es visto desde un ngulo secundario, relativo a lo visual, no en s mismo sino como subproducto.

Revisiting jazz with the baggage of more abstract journeys, a live recording by this quartet where the simultaneous solos spread over continuous, shifting tempi layerings and the contour of language is suspended to take a close look of abstract components of noise and seamlessly return to the linguistic surface to gain a broader perspective.

Reconsiderar el jazz con el bagaje de viajes ms abstractos desde la grabacin en vivo de un cuarteto donde solos simultneos se despliegan sobre superposiciones rtmicas cambiantes y continuas y perfiles lingsticos que se suspenden para observar su aspecto ruidista y regresar sin pausa a una superficie lingstica vista con mayor perspectiva.

Azzaria / Dufaux / Neveu

Concret

label: Ohm/Avatar

ref: Ohmavtr 31

players: Georges Azzaria (musique), Pascal Dufaux (spatialisation), Chantal Neveu (text)

A complex project bridging approaches to sound of a concrete, sculptoric, installative and poetic nature through the interaction of sound sources, and spatialization. The elements are woven together by means of a poetics whose self-referent narrative reflects on the project?s nature and yet provides its very building blocks, thus creating an mbius band that indissolubly links ?what is said? with ?how it is said?.

Proyecto complejo que enlaza planteamientos de naturaleza concreta, escultrica, instalativa y potica mediante la interaccin de fuentes y espacializacin sonoras. Elementos engarzados en una potica cuya narrativa autorreferente influye en la naturaleza del proyecto y que proporciona sus materiales de construccin, creando una banda de moebius que une indisolublemente ?qu se dice? con ?cmo se dice?.

Miniatures : miniature_3_janv07

Miniatures : miniature_3_janv07

Les miniatures ont rarement un titre. Elles sont numrotes dans une srie elle-mme repre par un mois et une anne ?

Depuis maintenant plusieurs annes, je pratique les miniatures sonores, sortes de points d?interrogations au sein de ma pratique de compositeur. Disperses sur plusieurs supports, disques, revues sonores, concerts, elles prennent maintenant place dans un nouvel espace : la radio.

Formes courtes avec des rfrences au Hai Ku elles n?en sont cependant pas une transposition rigoureuse. Elles retiennent nanmoins l?ide d?un matriau rduit articul ici en trois catgories sonores : La prise de son in situ , le son de synthse, la voix le plus souvent rcupres la radio. Cette segmentation correspond des pratiques sonores prcises qui sont les miennes et non pas un dsir formel d?affirmation de typologie.

Je ralise les miniatures par sries de 3 5. en puisant dans les sons du travail que je mne un moment donn. Il ne s?agit pas pour autant d?lments mis au rebut ou carts mais de petits fragments assembls pour eux-mmes dans la direction d?objets en quilibre entre l?anecdote et l?abstraction, le son comme matriau et comme information simultanment.

Working in the realm of electronics, a series of tracks wonderfully blending experimental sound sources and techniques with electronic concerns, varying from pulse related proposals to drone-influenced atmospheres of careful finishing or presenting concrete sounds, source processing and spatialization as raw materials.

One of those instances when multiple perspectives meet and jazz titles are seen from a folk angle, rock blends in as just an inevitable, coherent development and experimental stances seamlessly mix punk-rock with free jazz or electronic sounds in the face of perplexed pigeon-holers.

Un caso de encuentro entre mltiples perspectivas, donde los temas de jazz son vistos desde perspectivas folk, el rock se introduce como un desarrollo inevitable, coherente y las propuestas experimentales mezclan sin fisuras el punk-rock con el free jazz o la electrnica para desesperacin de quien gusta de categorias fijas.

An album proposing a series of instrumental settings where a broad palette of musical atmospheres and traditions are articulated thanks to an enhanced approach to timbre and a careful weaving of real time and studio overdubs and processing.
