Klangforumania - Reposted Tracks

for ensemble (2.1.2.1/1.1.1.0/2.1.1.1/Piano/Perc x 2)

Piece commissioned by the Klangforum Wien and winner of the "Impulse" Composition Competition. 

Premiere: March 2007, Wien, Konzerthaus. 

Klangforum Wien (Cond.: Matthias Pintscher)

The piece consists on 37 iterations over a recording of a children song ("tengo una muñeca vestida de azul...") I was sang when I was a child. Each iteration has a different time scale and different contrast and density parameters. Different feedback-loops are implemented across the piece, eroding the surface from detail. These iterations exist at the audio ("digital") domain and are analysed and translated (orchestrated) to analog instrumenal gestures. 

Most of the memories that we have from  our early childhood are not really ours but implanted images, either from anecdotes or stories which are repeated to us until we start believing in them; or through photos, films, etc., were we extrapolate these instants to a constructed recollection. These are meta-memories, memories of memories.

Cire-perdue – Klangforum Wien – Emilio Pomárico

Commissioned by Klangforum Wien, award for Impuls International Composition Competition 2011.
Premiered at impuls . International Ensemble and Composers Academy for Contemporary Music 2013, Graz / Austria, by Klangforum Wien and Enno Poppe, conductor.

Eon, for ensemble (2012)

"...anD..." for Viola Sola. Commissioned by Dimitrios Polisoidis, violist (Klangforum Vienna)

Performed Jan 30, 2013. Minoritensaal Graz, Austria.

“... anD ... “ is a challenging, unquenchablly intricate recital piece that allows the performer to display his/her technical prowess. This sense of bravura is unequivocally inspired by Dimitrios Polisoidis’s dazzling virtuosic skill, to whom the work is heartly dedicated. 

The surface of the work, with its prevalent rhythm driven, capriciously pulsating, microtonally detuned, spiccato articulated riffs and runs interwoven with layers of percussive sounds (col legno battuto, finger tappings, pizzicati) or natural harmonics in staccato, is destortedly reminiscent of the 19th century salon music. Sudden offbeat accents and metrical shifts keep an intense energy plane until the end. 

Virtuosic pyrotechnics aside, however, the inner workings of the piece below the surface take on a cerebral as well as organic, self-referential approach. The composition belongs to a series of works written over the past few years that explore a special interlacing technique: short and trite musical objects (two brief series of notes, in this case) are braided in labyrithoid fashion, constantly revealing different perspectives of the material within the development of the musical discourse. 

The pitch structures of the work have been obtained by using algorithmic routines in Super Collider. The routines have been implemented in the frame of the research project Algorithmic Composition in the Context of New Music (2009-10), which took place at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics of the University of Music and Drama at Graz, Austria.

GOD 16 - Bernhard Lang - Monadologie XII (Klangforum Wien/Kalitzke), excerpts

Klangforum Wien, cond. Enno Poppe (from SUB ROSA RECORDS SR352 "Fremdkörper" - www.subrosa.net)

Fremdkörper #3 (mit Michael Jackson) (Stefan Prins, 2010) - LIVE

25 musicians from 13 countries are constantly exploring new horizons of artistic creativity together with the most eminent composers of our time. 

Open-minded, virtuosic in performance and aurally perceptive, Klangforum Wien – one of the internationally most renowned ensembles for contemporary music – devotes itself to the artistic interpretation and expansion of experiential space.

A performance of Klangforum Wien is an event in the best sense of the word; it offers a sensual experience, immediate and inescapable; the novelty in its music speaks, acts and beguiles.

Ever since it was founded by Beat Furrer in 1985, the ensemble – which, over the years, has received a great number of awards and distinctions – has written music history:
It has presented around 600 world premieres, it boasts an extensive discography of more than 90 releases, appearing at the most prestigious concert halls, opera venues and at major music festivals.

Klangforum Wien has its own annual concert series at the Wiener Konzerthaus. Since 2009, the musicians have been sharing their comprehensive mastery of playing techniques and forms of expression with a new generation of artists in the context of their collective professorship at the University of Music, Graz.

The repertoire choice and the ensemble’s intense understanding of the compositions contribute to diversity, and are matched by the most excellent and joyful execution of the music.
