Ross Gentry - Nobody Wants To Be Here

Qui sequitur via recta non ambulat in tenebris

Some years ago I found the canon enigmatico from Manuel Cardoso, a portuguese composer from the 17th Century. The canon enigmatico was a common praxis in the 16th Century and consists in hiding one of the polyphonic voices of a piece. Instead of music notation the composer writes in the Tenor II or Alto a text that should be deciphered to reconstruct the music. Manuel Cardoso wrote 1625 one canon enigmatico which as far as I know was only deciphered by the musicologist Mário de Sampayo Ribeiro in the 20th Century. The sentence is this: Qui sequitur via recta non ambulat in tenebris which could be translated as who follows me through a straight way will not be walking in the darkness. The part “who follows me through a straight way” means that you should read the Superius I backwards from the end to the beginning. The second part “will not be walking in the darkness” means that you should take the Superius I and read only the white notes and ignore the black ones.

A fascinating form of obscure mystery that once solved allows the piece to be performed with all voices.

This White Music means to be an Homage to Frei Manuel Cardoso. It is an algorithmic process where only the white notes are used. All the music is in this case from Chopin except for the black notes (in sense from pitch and not from rhythm).

Sonata Per Eterna ( by Marta Zapparoli 2018-19 )
This is an extract from “Sonata Per Eterna”.
 It is a text-piece in which the meaning of some combinations of words are connected to selected radio waves and natural radios phenomena which I recorded in different countries over the world in the past recent years. This piece is inspired by my personal romantic idea feed it also by scientific notions about the journey of the soul after death to perpetual motion in the universe......."
