Name: Singing Åke by Magnus Bunnskog
Duration: 4 min 35 s
Description: A tribute to the legendary mr Parmerud. I have only used my totally unprocessed voice to recreate his electroacoustic piece "Les objets obscures", in the fine, old nordic tradition of passing on the music of one generation to another, by singing.

Jag vet inte om jag sagt det, men det är ju grymt!

Wow, this is really impressive! Great job 👌

I tip my hat, also, to the great Ake Parmerud

Oren Ambarchi 'Quixotism Part 5' (eMEGO 202)

Live recording of the premiere of YAMAHA / ENIGMA, for Yamaha Disklavier and laptop.  Recorded at Museum Speelklok, Utrecht, Netherlands.  The piece was commissioned by Stichting Conlon (NL), with generous support from the Nederlands Fonds Podiumkunsten.

My original program note for the piece:

For as long as humans have possessed complete writing, they have also sought ways in which to disguise the meaning of their most important communications from all but its intended recipient.  Taking the general idea of the encoding and decoding of written text as a starting point, my piece YAMAHA / ENIGMA utilizes several 'classic techniques' from the world of codes and cryptography and sets them in motion over 14 minutes.  Using permutations and rotations, symbols from telegraphy and texts from Sei Shounagon, Augustine of Hippo, Walt Whitman and my own meditation on silent reading, YAMAHA / ENIGMA is actually a rather mysterious love letter to the act of reading itself, the amazing, everyday act of 'decoding' written symbol into sound and meaning, which the linguist Steven Roger Fischer has termed one of human society's 'quiet triumphs'.
