ENG
Compression Music is a full concert piece which deepens the very idea of sound. The piece raises the question of how the omnipresent current aesthetics of compressed sound in modern music (characterised by homogenising dynamics and the construction of a compact sound) can meet a classical music criteria based on opposing principles such as realistic acoustics, natural instrument colours and wide dynamic ranges.

The text of the piece is a reconstruction of a multitude of fragments of lyrics of pop songs that I liked when I was younger

Project supported by Fundación BBVA

ESP
Compression music es una pieza-concierto que plantea cómo la omnipresente estética actual de sonido comprimido, caracterizada por homogeneizar las dinámicas y construir un sonido compacto se enfrenta a un criterio y tradición clásicos basados en principios de acústicas realistas, timbres naturales y amplios rangos dinámicos.

El texto de la pieza es una reconstrucción de multitud de fragmentos de letras de canciones de música pop que me gustaban cuando era más joven.

El proyecto cuenta con el soporte de la Fundación BBVA

Never Say Winter Again [disquiet0431]

This is one of 3 tracks that were made solely by using the analogue synthesizer EMS Synthi 100. For each track, there was a single patch and the material was recorded live in one go. Rhythmical synchronization of the material was done by using the Synthi's sequencer. Simple live manipulations included putting a pin or two in and out and switching on and off the mixer channels. Additional panning of each individual channel was done on a computer. These tracks demonstrate the effect of extremely simplified musical material produced by using the not-so-simple sound tool (for the reference, try figuring out and programming a Synthi 100 sequencer:)). Tracks are named by the number of sequencer steps used in that piece. Recorded live at Electronic Studio - Radio Belgrade.
