Rose of Jericho

The Rose of Jericho is a typical desert plant.  In some, 40 years easily pass without rain and yet the plant survives, persisting in the inclemency of its environment like a skeleton of plant origin.  They completely blend in with their surroundings; that is to say, they are arid, brown with golden streaks, very dry, brittle, they seem to be taken from a movie that narrates the kingdom of the underworld. 
 
 Now, if the water were to touch any of its parts, a miracle would happen that astonishes even the most hardened academic.  This biological miracle that occurs when the plant hydrates is capable of visually telling us a sacred story: the story of the resurrection.
 The Rose of Jericho can reopen its leaves and turn green again in order to frighten us from the idea we have of death.  It takes away our fear of the unknown because it tells us about a rebirth, it teaches us that the difficult moments in life pass and that it is possible to become greener, reborn. 
 
 The Rose of Jericho is a creature that sleeps for years until the sky gives it a little water and thus, in a few hours, it turns green again, as if each drop of water were a sacred spring that resurrects it, helps it to feed by synthesizing chlorophyll, to reproduce and once that water evaporates, it goes back to sleep until the Creator wants to wake it up again with his rain, over and over again, in a birth and death and rebirth again.  The famous mythological cycle of eternal rebirth shown in the biological cycle of a plant.
 
 We tell you all this because in order to carry out this musical work that you are going to listen to, we have connected several sensors to a Rose of Jericho that are capable of translating the different electrical and optical parameters that the plant produces in its awakening to life into musical notes. .  The sound was recorded over a month of recording and cut down to 3 minutes.  These 3 minutes of sounds were orchestrated and that is what we are going to enjoy.
 
 The recorded sound is magical, really fascinating because it shows us that the beauty of creation is in its simplicity.  Something very curious happened in the recording because naturally it is recorded binaurally, that is, in two slightly different frequencies that we will hear in each ear.  When the brain perceives these differences, it translates it into a single sound, personal and non-transferable.  So, we will all listen to this work, in a different way. 
 
This sound can reorganize our brain waves and emotions.  We hope that when you hear it, you will travel to the place of hope that gives you rebirth, restarting, awakening from sleep to the joy of life itself.

I had my first experience in meditation while I was a student in Cambridge, UK. It was so powerful that it changed my whole conception of music, from its creation to finding new ways of listening and being exposed to the experience and perception of sound. Sound on its own, away from the aesthetic concept.
An equally important influence in my music is the use of the Golden Ratio (Fibonacci sequence) as the basis for the organic structure of my work. Soon I discovered the powerful effect of the spiral proportion on the brain and its ability to induce alpha waves, which we know as the blissful state of meditation.
The concept of Soundscape Architecture was developed as a meditation on sound vibrating in harmony with its own space, and PRIVATE MUSIC was born with the desire of making a composition as unavailable as a work of art can be when is owned by a single person.

REVIEWS:

"Returning to the fountain; that's how I would describe and define this wonderful masterpiece created by Maestro Eduardo Marturet.  It's made me find a side of me that I had totally forgotten… Peace!  
Bravo Maestro!"

Multi Award Winning Producer, Songwriter & President / Founder of the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame

“@ Zaha's place" a composition put together by Eduardo Marturet, transported my awareness to a level I have never experienced before.  I was paintings an abstract for an exhibition when my husband put the music on. My feelings arose like waves each dancing to its own strength; reaching various heights but all returning to my heart in a rhythm perfectly balanced and marvellously beautiful. “@ Zaha's Place” is a precious gift. It carries the strength to mend a broken heart.  It knows how to bring the body and soul in harmony. But it does more than that.  It connects the outer world with the inner world and paves way for us to experience the true nature of our being “Joy"
Heather Welsh
Visual Artist

“What a World, a perfect combination of intuitive and sensual environmental sound and the rigor and discipline and architecture born of the genius of a world-class musician. Zaha’s Place – where I live”
Christopher O’Riley 
Pianist

"Composed as a gift for the home of world-renown architect Zaha Hadid, Marturet's “@ Zaha's Place" is a gentle musical invitation for us to experience our mind and spirit in privacy and peace. A must have... this is music to be cherished." 
Tulio Cremisini
Composer

“The soundscape created by Eduardo Marturet is brilliant in its sublimeness, creativity, and ethereal essence. I can think of no other music that equals “@ Zaha’s Place” for the purposes of meditation, yoga, or relaxation.”

"@ Zaha's Place is a Sanctuary  after a hard's work day. Totally recommend it." 
Maria Bestar
Singer / Composer

"Very quickly, my bewilderment about the technical skillfulness and overall intelligence with which the piece was composed was overpowered by its overwhelming beauty. All I could do was to let myself go, listen, and enjoy. A sonic out of body experience.” 
Florencia Di Concilio
Composer

"Private Music @Zaha's Place, by Maestro Eduardo Marturet, is a journey of non invasive however permeable sounds, like gentle breeze swinging bells from a temple as ancient as the soul itself, that through calmness into positive feelings, creates an atmosphere of self confidence and focused thoughts."
Luke Grande
Singer

A small piece I made in Logic Pro X with a Novation Launchpad Pro. It is inspired from Zelda's Fairy Fountain song (hence "Cotera"), as well as some Air and Björk influences thrown in.
Enjoy.
