Che bello! Complimenti. Fascinoso, chiarissimo nell'architettura. Tutto è molto ben calibrato senza avere l'aspetto del "calcolato", piuttosto fantasioso. Insomma, a mio modesto parere, un capolavoro.

"Down along the fjord I am about to soar, among birds, forests and clouds when I remember not having wings ... or maybe finally yes."

"Giù lungo il fiordo mi sto per librare, tra uccelli, foreste e nubi quando ricordo di non avere le ali... o forse finalmente sì".

In memoriam di Elisa Del Simone (1964-2011)

The idea for this piece came out of the experience of sitting at many a concert and at a particularly quiet moment there being an audible electric hum from some apparatus in the room. This hum, always the same one, is known as the mains hum and it's due to the 60 Hz frequency that powers the grid in most of the Americas (with a 50hz cousin in Europe and Africa). This piece is based on a spectral analysis of that hum with all the pitch content derived from its overtones. The piece is a meditation on the inevitability of noise and explores the harmonies, melodies, and violence hidden within the sounds that persist around us always on the periphery of our perception.

Langsam

Programme note

The piece is written in the style of pure repetitive minimalism, the texture is based on the counterpoint of regular pulsations. The choir is split into four micro-ensembles by regulating the texture clarity-density level and interpreting the old tradition of cori spezzati. The harmony is based on the slow sequences of diatonic scales, imitating overlaps of watercolour hues without distinct beginning/end outlines. The piece does not contain verbal text, only mormorando and vowels; hence there is no sound attacks paralleled with consonants of the verbal text. The only gesture in this piece - the sound emerging and submerging into silence, as if a tip of the iceberg revealing only small part of what the hearing cannot grasp, but may be able to imagine.

Perf.  by Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, cond. Paul Hillier
