Cem:
We have been working on this project with Mira for a while. Following Mira’s Curated Playlist contribution we discussed different ways in which music can enrich “the meme experience.” She kindly created this sound piece that is meant to be listened to while looking at memes on your phone.

Mira:
Classical music lovers will acknowledge that all releases of a piece of music vary and are open to interpretation. Pop music lovers are used to cover versions… Monteverdi has done something unusual for the baroque song I rearranged for this project. Commenting on the soprano part in the introduction to the Lamento, he left a note saying the singer should sing “according to her emotions” while the other singers and musicians are to follow the directions of the written score. He inbuilt variation and virality into the piece.
If you open Youtube and search for “Lamento della Ninfa” you will come across thousands of videos by amateurs and professionals alike. Thousands of variations and mutations sing out, some slow, some fast, some delicate, some wild. Despite the age of the piece, it’s still very much alive and viral… with a continuous stream of new releases and uploads… they keep mutating and imitating. And so it is from this particular ancient element of culture, passed by non-generic means that I have shaped a sound collage… cutting and pasting, and fusing, and moving through all these hundreds of variations to create perhaps the most dramatic soundtrack for your meme scrolling…

“Terry left us the score to Song. The score indicates it is the piano part, however I have never seen any additional vocal part, and the right hand could clearly be the song melody. Terry once played this composition for me at his parents’ house in Eagle Rock on piano, alone. Since there are no words with the melodic line, I suggested to Charles Curtis that since the cello is such a song-like instrument, perhaps he could play the vocal part and Michael Schumacher could play the piano part.” – La Monte Young

Charles Curtis: Performances & Recordings 1998-2018 3xCD (SLT-005)

Saltern presents its fifth release, Charles Curtis: Performances & Recordings 1998-2018, the first comprehensive collection of recordings surveying the career of renowned, American cellist Charles Curtis. Selected by Curtis and Tashi Wada from recordings spanning the past two decades, the collection offers a broad, inclusive view of Curtis's activities across the diverse worlds of music he inhabits, containing rare, unreleased recordings, and never-before-released music by Terry Jennings, Richard Maxfield, Éliane Radigue, Alison Knowles, and Curtis. The wide-ranging scope of this release speaks not to a musical restlessness, but to a genuine spirit of inquiry, as these areas of activity for Curtis have existed concurrently in dialogue, not simply in succession, for decades. Over two hours of music by composers and artists with whom Curtis is closely associated including Éliane Radigue, Guillaume de Machaut, Tobias Hume, Silvestro di Ganassi, Terry Jennings, Morton Feldman, Anton Webern, Olivier Messiaen, Alison Knowles, Richard Maxfield, and Curtis himself. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with liner notes by La Monte Young, Spencer Gerhardt, and Tashi Wada. Custom packaging and screen printing by Alan Sherry; edition of 500.
