I have now listened to this piece of music twice. On second hearing, I was able to appreciate the beauty of its austere aesthetics the more. Well done Mr Wubbels, a significant addition to the 21st century canon.

Virtual Pianist VIBE - Vulftronic By Lars Soederberg

https://xu-substance.bandcamp.com/album/six-piano-things

I recently came across a number of "abandoned" recordings on my old macbook. These are tracks or sketches dating back to various periods (from around 2018 to 2020) and they all have piano as their main audio source.
The original recordings (some previously dubbed on tape) were then heavily processed in Ableton Live and recently reworked to make them (more or less) consistent with each other.

The result is in some way a collection of raw sounding sketches which, however, well represent my interest at that time in creating an opus starting only from piano sounds and loops. Only a few processed field recordings have been added (however recorded by acting on the body of the piano) and just a touch of Minibrute on track 2 and Volca FM on track 3.

The work is a personal exploration of darkness in both a literal and a metaphorical way.  On the one hand, it is an homage to the victims of the dramatic events that were taking place throughout 2022/23 in my hometown, Kyiv, when the bombings of civilian infrastructure during the invasion led to major electricity cutoffs. With the word “Kiovia” being the denomination of the Ukrainian capital in Latin language, the idea is to evoke a soundscape of a megalopolis submerged into blackness. On the other hand, the composition reflects upon the structure of the Tenebrae, a liturgical service held at night with gradual extinguishing of candles and concluded by a loud noise in the dark.

Kiovia: esplorazioni delle tenebre (2023) for large ensemble and electronics

The more inner work you do and the more awareness you bring to your own inner processes, the more you understand how thoroughly human consciousness is dominated by mental narrative. And the more you understand how thoroughly human consciousness is dominated by mental narrative, the more acutely aware you become of how much power someone could gain over other humans by controlling those narratives.

Reading by Tim Foley.

The More Inner Work You Do, The More You See How Humanity Is Dominated By Narrative

Duos with Piano: Book I marks the debut release from composer/performer Eric Wubbels, Co-Director and pianist of the essential New York collective Wet Ink Ensemble. 

Wubbels's "Duos with Piano" project encompasses eight works for eight different instruments paired with piano, written over a ten-year period for a network of close collaborators. These pieces aim to develop a 21st-century conception of ensemble virtuosity (now a virtuosity of listening, concentration, timbral fusion, and collaborative decision-making as much as of technique) in the microcosm of the duo format. 

Book I

Shiverer [2007], for flute and piano
with Erin Lesser

"the children of fire come looking for fire" [2012], for violin and piano
with Josh Modney

doxa [2014], for prepared vibraphone and prepared piano

"the children of fire come looking for fire" (1/2)

PolyBrute is more than a synthesizer - it's a 6-voice analog powerhouse, with unprecedented expressivity and sound morphing capabilities, built to let you perform fearlessly, compose with fluidity, and explore sound in perpetual motion.
