Cornelius Cardew & Franco Evangelisti, digitally re-enacted

Aus der Reihe „Klassiker der Avantgarde, neuinterpretiert“:
Shawn Feeny hat einen Klassiker der grafischen Notation, „Treatise“ von Cornelius Cardew, mit Sinustönen ausgelesen.

I uploaded an electronic realization of Cornelius Cardew’s massive graphic score, Treatise, that I made back in 2002. Sine waves are generated from the black areas of the score as it scrolls from right to left, with the y-axis corresponding to pitch. An imaginary vertical line in the center of the screen is the „sounding membrane“. Cardew created Treatise in 1963-67. This fairly literal realization is fifteen minutes long, which you may find maddening or mesmerizing.

Danke für den Tipp, Matthew!

Und hier hat Giorgio Sancristoforo „Incontri di fasce sonore“ von Franco Evangelisti neuarrangiert:

Incontri di fasce sonore is one of Franco Evangelisti masterpieces.
Recorded in 1957 at WDR, Cologne, it is one of the classic scores of the integral serial music era.

This is a preliminary study to investigate the possibility of playing 1950s serial music with the Buchla synthesizer and Max/MSP.

I’ve programmed 315 mixtures of 7 sinusoidal tones in Max/MSP
carefully following the score’s instructions,
then I’ve played them freely in the Buchla, creating a variation piece.

Bach, mit Beethoven gespielt

Ein schönes, wahrscheinlich sehr aufwändiges Beispiel der konkatenativen Klangsynthese: Ein Stück von Johann Sebastian Bach (Sarabande aus der Orchestersuite h-moll), zusammengesetzt aus lauter Schipseln einer Aufnahme der 5. Symphonie von Ludwig van Beethoven.

Update: Hier auch noch ein hübscher Splitscreenfilm, ebenfalls mit unerträglicher Musik. Danke für den Tipp, Kostia!

This is my composition, it will make us famous

Vor Jahren hab ich auch mal eine kleine Szene in xtranormal eingerichtet, und dachte, das würde Mode werden – eigene Trickfilme zu gestalten. Is nich, aber immerhin hat Christopher Adler die Möglichkeit noch genutzt, eine Szene darzustellen, die nicht mal radikale Indepentler direktieren würden: Ein typischer Dialog zwischen Komponist und Interpret.

(Danke für den Tipp, Matthew!)
