Richard Cameron-Wolfe about "Guesstimations":

During my first listening to Linda Leimane's Chamber Symphony, I attempted to experience it (typically) as a linear event, progressing toward a climactic moment and conclusion. But I soon realized that this music was an entity, a kind of sonic object. My experience during the second listening was circular, comparable to a person slowly walking around a multi-textured sculpture. As with the perception of music unfolding over a period of time, I also could not "see" this entire sound-object at any moment. On third listening, I realized that I had not travelled full-circle around this sound-object, for I did not arrive where I had started. I realized that I was on an ever-mutating spiral.

per sense

"Corpi Celesti", for five voices(2014)
From the Book of madrigals "Il Libro dei Margini" © Casa Ricordi.

The piece represents the nightmare of being one of the people who jumped off the Twin Towers. It’s a dilatation of the 10 seconds flight (aerial sounds, disturbances in audio communications, several cuts) and a "cantus post mortem" at the end. This madrigal has no text.

Exaudi Vocal ensemble. Live recording of the WP at LSO St Luke's, London. Open Ear. BBC Radio 3.
 
Dedication: to the ones who reversed the sky
