"holsa" (2017) with thunder - Maastricht - LCollective 2019

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).

The first examples are from Chopin op. 18 Grand Valse Brillante and Etude op. 10 nr. 5 (Black Keys)

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......." 
The release will be out in 2020

Ascending Composition 1 (For Planes) representative soundscape - Kate Carr

Paweł Pruski is an artist from Krakow, Poland who has previously had vinyl albums released under the name of Minoo and more recently, Ambient albums as Pruski. One such was a contribution at the beginning of our Home Diaries series after we had postponed the release of his album ‘Playground’. His work pushes and extends the boundaries of Ambient and Drone music and he also performs as a live act in events and festivals around the world.

Playground is a journey into a child’s world. A world without sophisticated sentences, complicated relationships or conventions. Here, the most important things are gestures, curiosity and surprise. It is discovering what is around, fascinated by nature. It is an attempt to look from the side back to the beginning of our journey in this world. What was it like to be surprised by the colour of the leaves, rain, and the ticking of the clock? For this is a journey to a place where the tree is the whole world, and a small meadow can be the whole cosmos.
