In Low-fi Delirium, most of the electronics consist of sounds that come from real "vintage" keyboard instruments such as the mellotron, the optigan and the Rhodes electric piano. In some ways this piece pays homage to the psychedelic music and delirious times of the sixties. 

The sounds of these analog instruments have always inspired me since I was a teenager and I have always thought of using them outside of their usual musical context (that of rock, pop or jazz). Although nowadays there are very powerful digital keyboards and softwares created to simulate these instruments, there is nothing, in my opinion, like the real machines – with their charming flaws and their analog sound qualities. The mellotron is an instrument in which each key triggers the playback of a magnetic tape which contains a real pre-recorded instrumental sound. It is in a way the analog ancestor of the digital sampler. The mellotron's pre-recorded sounds have a rudimentary "cheap" and almost “kitsch” sound quality. It is precisely this characteristic which, in my opinion, gives the mellotron its charm and potential! I wanted to use these sounds in order to establish an interaction, a dialog with the three acoustic instruments. This is how each instrument of the ensemble will be enlarged by its mirror or by its "low-fi" electronic alter ego. The pre-recorded mellotron sounds will be the electronic doubles of the wind instruments, while the bell or celesta type sounds of the Rhodes will weave a link with the vibraphone. Alongside these electronic instrumental sounds there are other “vintage” and “concrete” vinyl crackle noises, old clocks ticking, radio interferences...

Low-fi delirium

Japanese sound artist @yosuketokunaga debuts on @entangledvisions with "6 Lengths". Hazy synths and crackling ambiences appear and disappear over wide horizons of sound, resulting in a courtly and fascinating piece of sound research.

The abstract scenarios created by Tokunaga carry the listener towards gentle and meditative places, acting as sensorial bridges between reality and dreams.

Dante Boon - Gaza (2018)

New wars are raging, now in Gaza, I wish I could hug all the people who suffer them in first person, for all the hugs not given. Hold me close.


SI DEBO MORIR

Si debo morir, tú debes vivir para contar mi historia,  para vender mis cosas, comprar un trozo de tela y algunas cuerdas, (hazlo blanco con una cola larga) para que un niño, en algún lugar de Gaza…

mientras mira el cielo a los ojos esperando a su padre que se fue en llamas —y no te despidas de nadie, ni siquiera a su carne, ni siquiera a si mismo— Ve la cometa, mi cometa que tú hiciste, volando arriba  y piensa por un momento que un ángel está ahí, trae de vuelta el amor.

1979-2023 Refaat Alareer

Si debo morir  deja que traiga esperanza… deja que sea un cuento.

Los Senderos se Bifurcan pour violoncelle et grand ensemble
Daniel Alvarado Bonilla - 2016

Cameron Crozman - Violoncelle
David Reiland - Direction
Orchestre des Lauréats du Conservatoire
Enregistrement Live / CNSMDP Salle d'Art Lyrique - 4 Octobre 2016

Dans Los Senderos se Bifurcan, la forme concertante m'a permis de travailler pour la première fois sur l'interaction, l'opposition et la convergence entre le soliste et l'ensemble instrumental. La structure de l'œuvre s'articule autour de quatre mouvements qui s'enchaînent. L'ensemble anticipe le matériau exposé par la ligne du soliste ou crée une sorte de réponse/conséquence à celui-ci. L'univers sonore du violoncelle est alors élargi, voire multiplié par le groupe instrumental. De même, l'ensemble peut établir une situation d'opposition, prenant un sentier différent et contrastant. En dehors de ces idées strictement formelles, il y a eu d'autres éléments qui m'ont accompagné pendant le processus (labyrinthique) de la composition de l'œuvre : la lecture de Borges, le chant d'oiseaux de la colline de Montjuïc à Barcelone, ainsi que le souvenir de mon grand-père, Ricardo Alvarado Pantoja (1928 – 2016), à qui cette pièce est dédiée.

Circular I

Totem
pour contrebasse et électronique
Daniel Alvarado Bonilla - 2018

Louis Siracusa - Contrebasse
Enregistrement Live / Centquatre Paris - Festival Manifeste
16 juin 2018

Evocation d’une cérémonie tribale, presque onirique. 
La contrebasse est l’objet rituel. De celui-ci émanent les incantations, des éclats d’énergie et de lumière qui éclairent la nuit ; des rythmes lancinants et des sonorités percussives qui cherchent à nous conduire au paroxysme hallucinatoire.
