While listening to Non Western Women in Electronic Music podcast, the texture is getting richer randomly by construction sounds and Sinan's eating noises. The piece playing on the podcast composed by Sofía Scheps.

While listening to Non Western Women in Electronic Music podcast

Ethos

Obra ganadora del segundo puesto en musica contemporanea, menor de 30 años, otorgado por el Consejo de la musica Argentina (2018). Compuesta por Jonathan Corzo. Acousmatic. También en 2020 fue reconicida como una obra recomendada en el prestigioso festival Forum Wallis de Suiza
The cavern does not have other way out more than zenith and his entrance is underground, that is to say, from the center of the world. With this first indication,  the electroacustic piece “Inside the cavern, at the end a small light” was created under the deep self-discovery and the necessary hopelessness to make a composition that means beyond of a simple sonorous fact. 

The piece is a representation about the empty contents into itself, it is a circular search  between the hopelessness and the hope.  “Inside the cavern, at the end a small light” is a piece that is constantly searching towards the ascension, that is searching the entirety light. It was created, nearly all, with colombian rattle and acusmatic tranformations.

While we cannot see small nanoscopic objects like proteins or other molecules that make up virtually all living matter including our cells, tissues, as well as pathogens such as viruses, our computational algorithm allows us to make its material manifestation audible.  This piece is a musical representation of the amino acid sequence and structure of the spike protein of the pathogen of COVID-19, 2019-nCoV (protein data bank identifier 6VSB [1]). 

MUSICAL DECEIT

A virus’ genome hijacks the host cell’s protein manufacturing machinery, and forces it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new viruses from it.  This musical art teaches us something about the fine line between beauty of life and death as an opposite pole.  As you listen to the protein you will find that the intricate design results in incredibly interesting and actually pleasing, relaxing sounds. This doesn’t really convey the deadly impacts this particularly protein is having on the world. This aspect of the music shows the deceiving nature of the virus, how it hijacks our body to replicate, and hurt us along the way. So, the music is a metaphor for this nature of the virus to deceive the host and exploit it for its own multiplication. 

HOW IT IS DONE: 

What you hear is a multi-layered algorithmic composition featuring both the vibrational spectrum of the entire protein (expressed in sound and rhythmic elements), the sequence and folding of amino acids that compose the virus spike structure, as well as interwoven melodies - forming counterpoint music - reflecting the complex hierarchical intersecting geometry of the protein [2].

RESPIRANDO CONTIGO
(Omar Romero Garay, 2002)
Tema para respirador mecánico y flauta traversa sin llaves

corte 19 del CD "Chicha y Guarapo Banda de flautas" 2002.

Flauta: Omar Romero Garay
Secuencia de respirador: Omar Romero, Ricardo Gómez Serrano, María Clara Cerón

Grabación, mezcla y master: Ricardo Gómez Serrano. Estudio 5o1. Bogotá D.C.

"Hace ya más de 25 años mi papá murió atado a un respirador. Mientras él intentaba atrapar cada impulso que le mandaba la máquina a mí me impresionaba el mundo sonoro de esa lucha por el aire y por la vida.
Hoy, que miles de personas dependen de un respirador, recordé este tema grabado en 2002. Comparto RESPIRANDO CONTIGO como un homenaje a los que se aferran con furia a un poquito de aire para mantener la vida. ¡Fuerza, fuerza!"

19 Respirando Contigo

Tercer episodio del podcast interferencias, proyecto ganador de la beca  de  podcast de investigación del portafolio distrital de estímulos 2020,  en  Bogotá, Colombia. Este episodio cuenta con la participación del compositor Jonathan Corzo, en donde abordaremos aspectos relacionados con la música electroacústica y la apropiación cultural, en este caso, entendida como la apropiación de elementos y medios instrumentales tradicionales colombianos, para la creación de músicas electroacusticas y la búsqueda de un lenguaje estético en torno a estos medios instrumentales. 

Jonathan Corzo es compositor, intérprete y docente.
