A rather simple meditation on a simple melodic theme in a few different intonations. Tuning is 53EDO, so pretty much Pythagorean and ridiculously close to 5-limit JI.

Recorded using Pianoteq, improvised, one take, one track, no fiddling round, on my tiny keyboard (yay for that high B). I really dig this Organ-like tone, though it's really a Rhodes hiding under there.

53EDO organ made me think of Bosanquet (hence the picture of one of his 53-tone organs), man I'd love to play on one of those

Topología del Silencio

Topología del silencio (2018) / Guitarra & Electrónica / Ricardo Cuadros Pradilla

Written for string quartet and live electronics, December engages with the virtual, not as the “non-real,” but as an embodied space-in-the-making that emerges as a site of resistance, which accounts for the erased as well as the not-known within what preconditions the political-now as the “real”.

Live electronics activate feedback through over the course of the piece to either saturate or filter certain partials of the resulting spectra, which, together with the signals propagating through the bodies of the instruments as well as the fine-tuned speakers, color the properties of reflection and resonance of the performance space, and portrays simultaneous sonic-temporal images that emerge, articulate, and transform the physical space.

Facing each other, the audience is divided into two groups, and invited to participate in the collective auditory happenings that unfold, while the audience as well as the performers respond to the inner spaces emerging from within.

December is dedicated to the left-wing political prisoners who lost their lives on December 19, 2000 during the so-called "Operation Back to Life" (Hayata Dönüş Operasyonu, in Turkish). The Turkish government carried out this military-grade operation in order to end the prison resistance movement and the ongoing hunger strikes, during which the prisoners demanded that the shift towards a new cell system should stop. Known as the F-Type, this cell system is based on complete isolation of political prisoners. During this extremely brutal and widespread operation, more than 30 prisoners were killed, some of whom were burned alive. Following the operation, 1000 political prisoners were transferred to F-type cells. According to the official reports, more than 400 people, who have since been released, have been suffering from ongoing injuries, both mental and physical. Even today, the government denies responsibility for the casualties. Furthermore, some of the officers involved in the operation have been promoted to higher official ranks.

String Quartet No.1 "December"

"Contra-statement" engages with the inner workings of string instruments that are perceived at resonance rate. Specific harmonic nodes pertaining to string instrument positions produce a residual signal that is composed of discrete resonance peaks, which virtually generate a pitch perception due to its spectral structure.

For this work, the related analyses show that such phenomenon can be stimulated to design a harmonic relationship between the virtual pitches and physically played ones if accurate filtering methods, such as bowing or specific fingering combinations, are applied in fine-tuned ways. As an acoustic piece as well as a piece addressing the acoustics of string instruments, "Contra-statement" intends to explore the ways in which this sonic-temporal output generates a dialogue with perceived spaces.

"Contra-statement" is dedicated to all fellow artists who are held in prisons in Turkey, where the Ministry of Interior Affairs, İdris Nedim Şahin, stated in a public speech on December 26, 2011 that art is a form of terrorist propaganda.

Letra/ Lyrics:

Rio seco este futuro,
ya no quedan mas que surcos
rio seco este futuro
mucho humo entre los muros
Fuimos barro
y maizal.
somos sal,
somos cal.
Molimos hasta el polvo
la ultima roca.
fumamos de las piedras
la ultima gota.
Fuimos barro
y maizal.
somos sal,
somos cal.
Rio seco este futuro,
ya no quedan mas que muros
rio seco este futuro
mucho viento sobre los surcos
Fuimos barro
y maizal.
somos sal,
somos cal.
El tiempo no corre
por las venas de la historia.
no hay futuro.
no hay memoria.

Giorgio Sancristoforo invited to a challenge:

Hi, I invite you to create a [sur-]*realistic soundscape (10 min max) using ONLY sound synthesis.
You can use digital or analog synthesizers and edit the sounds on your DAW, but real world sound samples are absolutely NOT allowed, only pure synthesis.

* Editor's note

Everything real time generated in SuperCollider with no editing
