What Dreams May Come

Éliane Radigue – Naldjorlak (SLT-008)

Saltern presents a thrilling new live recording of Naldjorlak for solo cello, composer Éliane Radigue’s first piece for an acoustic instrument, paired with a remastered version of the long out-of-print, original 2006 recording. Composed in 2005 in close collaboration with cellist Charles Curtis, Naldjorlak marked a striking shift in the music of Radigue, who has since composed exclusively for instrumentalists with her celebrated Occam series. This double-CD album brings together two complete performances by Curtis, recorded nearly 15 years apart (Paris in 2006 and Los Angeles in 2020), drawing attention to the evolution of the piece and to its inherent mutability. The sound and spirit of Naldjorlak are centered around the re-tuning of the entire cello to the wolf tone, a uniquely unstable frequency, creating a haunting, almost feedback-like resonance within the instrument itself. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with custom packaging and screen printing by Alan Sherry. Includes extensive liner notes by Gascia Ouzounian, Radigue, and Curtis, and a reproduction of Radigue's never-before-published original drawing of Naldjorlak.

From Gascia Ouzounian’s liner notes: “Even as it expands conceptions of what sound is, and thus what music can be, to understand Naldjorlak only as music would be to limit its scope. It is music, but it is also physics and philosophy. Naldjorlak is a detailed investigation of the physical properties of resonating bodies and dynamic systems; it is a meditation on the condition of instability; it is a metaphysics of chaos and uncertainty.”

Throughout history, alchemists have captivated our minds with their quests to turn base materials into gold and seek the philosopher's stone. Their work was shrouded in metaphor and mystery, embodying a desire to understand the universe's hidden truths. Similarly, this collection of sounds endeavors to evoke the essence of that magical process. Each composition is a carefully crafted distillation of emotions, imagery, and ideas, resonating with the transformative powers attributed to the alchemical arts.

In Alchemies, Paul Beaudoin blends orchestral textures with glitch and noise elements, creating a sonic alchemy that mirrors the ancient quest for transformation. These contrasting sound worlds—organic and synthetic, refined and raw—come together in a seamless dialogue, embodying the fusion of disparate materials that the alchemists sought.

The album weaves through an auditory landscape, transporting you to the Fire of Calcination, where raw elements are purified, or the ethereal Black Sun, where shadows and light intertwine. As you listen, imagine the delicate Golden Transmutation—the alchemical transformation of sound and silence into rich tapestries of experience. Each track is an invitation to engage with the mysteries at the intersection of sound and spirit, reminiscent of the alchemist’s laboratory, filled with curiosity and wonder.

Join Ambient Cat on this journey as we explore the tenets of alchemy through sound, delving into the Salt of the Earth and emerging into the Albedo Phase, where clarity and illumination reign. Each piece is a gateway into an imaginative realm where transformation and transcendence occur—much like the alchemists sought, through their craft, to unlock the hidden potential of the universe.
