MADNESS XXL #12 | BOOTSHAUS, COLOGNE 22-05-07

This track was released as part of:
_EXECUTE Vol​.​1 - A Compilation Of Contemporary Algorithmic Music.

https://toplapduesseldorf.bandcamp.com/


"TOPLAP DÜSSELDORF is a group of artists that has existed since 2018 to explore and promote live coding. In order to make this increasingly popular technique of composing and performing electronic music more widely known, the group is releasing with _EXECUTE Vol. 1 the works of Düsseldorf artists together with the works of the international live coding scene as a compilation for the first time.

In their performances, live coders reveal the inner workings of software, manipulate it directly in the source code, and in the process improvise to create music or moving images. The process of programming is made visible to the audience through a projection of the computer screen. Live coding works in all music genres and is shown in many livestreams and all over the world in concert halls, clubs and on so-called algoraves.

What is unique about live coding is the combination of cool computer science, strictly rule-based and merciless in its treatment of errors, with musical improvisation, which is usually free and open to deviations from the usual. In this way, the live coders fill the sobriety of programming with aesthetic life, making the hidden beauty of code audible and visible to connoisseurs and lay listeners and viewers."

=== PROGRAMME NOTE IN ENGLISH, scroll down for German ===
As the basis for my Vicentino tribute, I have ironically collaged Italian madrigal texts by Vicentino, Gesualdo and Petrarca. Beneath a seemingly smooth surface, my music contains similarly ambiguous elements. The fifths in Vicentino's scale are always a little too low (5ct) compared to the pure fifth (702ct), and it is hard to imagine that Vicentino would have preferred these to their pure counterparts. In allo studio con Nicola I actually write pure 702ct fifths instead of Vicentino's too low ones in order to get pure triads.

In two consecutive waves, the music developed from Vicentino's scale spirals upwards to an almost Regerian chromaticism, only to get stuck on a C sharp, which is presented [in the original version] by the viola in ever new intonation variations. At this point, a Vicentino 698ct fifth is celebrated as the low Bb and F of the keyboard; I have labelled this 'La Quinta del Vicentino' (Vicentino's fifth) in the score. Above this, the C sharp of the viola becomes the most ambiguous possible third, lying exactly between major and minor, but still contained in Vicentino's scale. After this traumatic event, the music quickly disintegrates and comes to a standstill. (hm 2016)

=== DEUTSCHER EINFÜHRUNGSTEXT ===
Als Grundlage meines Vicentino-Tributs habe ich italienische Madrigaltexte von Vicentino, Gesualdo und Petrarca ironisch collagiert. Unter einer scheinbar glatten Oberfläche enthält meine Musik ähnlich mehrdeutige Elemente. Die Quinten in Vicentinos Skala sind im Vergleich zur reinen Quinte (702ct) immer ein wenig zu tief (5ct), und es ist schwer vorstellbar, daß Vicentino diese ihren reinen Gegenstücken vorgezogen hätte. In allo studio con Nicola schreibe ich tatsächlich, anstelle Vicentinos zu tiefer, reine 702ct-Quinten vor, um reine Dreiklänge zu bekommen.

In zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Wellen schraubt sich die aus Vicentinos Skala entwickelte Musik bis zu einer fast Reger'schen Chromatik empor, um sich auf einem Cis festzufressen, das von der Bratsche in immer neuen Intonationsvarianten präsentiert wird. An dieser Stelle wird als tiefes B und F des Keyboards eine Vicentino 698ct-Quinte zelebriert; ich habe dies in der Partitur mit 'La Quinta del Vicentino' (Vicentinos Quinte) bezeichnet. Darüber wird das Cis [in der Originalfassung in der Viola] zur mehrdeutigsten möglichen Terz, genau zwischen Dur und Moll liegend, die jedoch noch immer in Vicentinos Skala enthalten ist. Nach diesem traumatischen Ereignis zerfällt die Musik rasch und kommt zum Stillstand. (hm 2016)
