Tridimensional - Cliffs, Vultures & Cycles of Death

Lake Ulubat is a large freshwater lake in the vicinity of Bursa in Turkey, hosting a large amount of bird species.
While a lot of activity can be heard during the birds breeding season, it sounds really quiet under the beating sun of summer.
Submerging hydrophones between alga in the shallow water reveals a whole new world as numerous little insects sounds really busy.

Recorded with Mélia Roger, 16/08/24

Not intended as a concerto, Das Phonem zwischen zwei Wörtern (b) is composed in two different tunings for two interdependent pieces, which can be performed together or as two stand-alone works. Written for baroque ensemble and large orchestra, this work is the second part of a three-part cycle, which engages with a multidimensional study on timbral and harmonic spaces, intended to offer an approach for re-thinking how discrete mappings of a given tuning can be re-imagined simultaneously within continuous terms.

In this work, the piece engaging with the large orchestra was written in 443Hz and composed in relation to a 3D acoustic model that I designed based on architectural structures that are no longer standing — namely the 6th-century Basilica of St. John in Ephesus and the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. Rather than for simulation or a fixed point of observation, this approach to 3D modeling was activated to develop sonic-temporal architecture emerging from two spaces, as a way to visualize and re-imagine what lies in-between, through which embodied spaces of the pasts that have been erased become visible through corporeal reach and sound.

This cycle brings together collaborative research initiated in parallel with the study informed by the 3D modeling. Initiated in 2022, this research is based on numerous sessions conducted with Peter Veale on performing baroque oboe and modern oboe; Carl Rosman on performing 3-key baroque clarinet in D, modern clarinet in Bb as well as basson du chalumeau and modern bass clarinet; James Aylward on performing baroque bassoon and modern bassoon; and Alex Waite on performing harpsichord and piano.

Written in 415Hz, the piece composed for the “baroque ensemble” is informed by this research, and correspondingly engages with instrument design and its relation to body and space, not as means to arrange a fixed past with a fixed present, but rather to trace how coeval pasts inform contemporary performance praxes, while also unpacking the conditions surrounding how instrument design relates to embodiment and space.

Activating interrelationships of sound, space, and corporeality as a mode of unlearning, Das Phonem zwischen zwei Wörtern (b) in its simultaneity is therefore an effort to take account for what may be not rendered visible, but is nevertheless present in space, and to address traces of multiple pasts not just in relation to the conditions of what remains, but also to the conditions of erasure.

Roberto Semeraro (Pearl River Sound), under the pseudonym White Dove, presents the first installment of the second chapter in his ongoing musical tribute to his late father.

Released on Adepta Editions, this three-track EP serves as a direct follow-up to his 2022 album "The White Dove Pt.1" on Furthur Electronix. Each track is a poignant exploration of grief and longing, capturing the feeling of a life abruptly cut short. Like shattered pieces of a beloved object, these compositions confront the acute pain of loss while simultaneously revealing the delicate beauty of pure emotion..

We hope you enjoy this new, always different and unexpected proposal from Adepta Editions.

Thank you very much for the support.
