Viola – Ilgyeong Shin
Cover art - Jun Yeong "Siren" Hyeong

As a life-long viola fan (and a viola player myself too), this is intended as a study on virtuosic aspects of viola, to overcome its inherent timbral/structural “imperfections”, which makes the instrument as a kind of laughing stock, for example; being a victim of so-called “Viola jokes”. Also, the pieces are a kind of hommage or rather a violation of repertoires by the composers of 20th century which helped expand the instrumental possibility of viola.

A collection of compositions by Vincent Eoppolo ( Ioppolo )

AUTUNNO feat Ilaria Boffa

a project created in december 2020 found from the archive

Procedure:
A MIDI sequence was created with Elektron Octatrack,
which drives a piano track in Ableton.
The sequence was then broken down into four melodic lines.
The harmony was extracted from each melodic line.
For each track, the ghost plays its part and sings as it pleases.
Next, for the sake of musicality, each ghost decides which notes to play and which to omit from its part.
During the performance the Time increase and the ensemble takes place

The shore recedes as we approach

When an unknown wind gently caresses my cheek, I feel glad to be alive.

Ordinary happiness is a gentle breath. (358)

Starts with Roland Gaia alone, then Two Behringer 2600 for sequencing and Roland gaia for a very slow melodic line. Third part is Yamaha P-200  piano, run by a pre-recorded sequence from Korg sq-25, also connected one CRAVE. Fourth part, one Behringer 2600
on sample and hold and Roland Gaia for string, and thats it.

Recorded with weeks in between.
