Marco Lucchi : electric organ and tape

9 febbraio 2023

questa è la mia personale interpretazione del "Four organs" di Steve Reich .. non la considero una versione definitiva, ma giusto un primo approccio, un tentativo .. se qualcuno è interessato a condividere con me il piacere di lavorare su quel bellissimo pezzo mi faccia sapere .. sono ben accetti sia rielaborazioni che parti vocali o strumentali da aggiungere .. su Bandcamp, in forma di 'bonus track', trovate anche il brano originale

***

Four Organs is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation (lengthening) of individual tones within a single (dominant 11th) chord. The tones within the chord gradually extend out like a sort of horizontal bar graph in time. As the chord stretches out, slowly resolving to the tonic A and then gradually changing back to the dominant E, a sort of slow-motion music is created. The maracas lay down a steady time grid of even eighth-notes throughout, enabling the performers to play together while mentally counting up to as much as 256 beats on a given cycle of sustained tones.


Four Organs is the only piece I am aware of that is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation of individual tones within a single chord. From the beginning to the end there are no changes of pitch or timbre; all changes are rhythmic and simply consist of gradually increasing durations. This process of augmentation was suggested by the enormous elongation of individual tenor notes in Organum as composed by Perotin and others in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral. Tenor notes that in the original chant may have been equivalent to our quarter- or half-notes can take several pages of tied whole-notes when augmented by Perotin or Leonin.


Four Organs was composed in January 1970. It was first performed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City by myself and members of my own ensemble later that same year. It also turned out to be one of my first pieces to be heard by a large concert-going public when Michael Tilson Thomas invited me to perform it with him and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston in 1971 and at Carnegie Hall in 1973, where it provoked a riot.

Notre-Dame

it was crowded, and loud, and the smoke irritated my eyes

This track was created in reflection of the delicacy of the skin. The skin of humans and other creatures, as well as the "skin" of plants... the differences in consistency, fragility, tonality, etc. 
We'd always found ourselves fascinated at how most folks "rave" about roses... for all sorts of "holiday" arrangements for giving to most of the women in folks lives. But, what consideration is given to those of us who've become allergic to them? One of the reasons we find this to be fascinating is folks want to insist everyone MUST BE: happy, joyful, kind, all love and light, sunshine, rainbows, etc. Yet, though most feel the rose is adored by all and thusly, should be adorned by all... how often we FORGET about the thorns that reside alongside the flower we are trained to love and BElieve all should appreciate. I mean, they're quite expensive and the act of forking out the money for them should be in and of itself a show of our affection, right? We don't BElieve or feel such nonsense. 
In fact, as far back as we can remember, we'd always uttered a soliloquy of appreciation to the lovely contours and colors of the stems and thorns that support the adorned, atop, rose. There's often a seemingly "sensual dance" within both of the typically green and burgundy wine colors that entangle within the stem and thorns. Where does the burgundy come forth... is it part of the rose's color that doesn't feel worthy or have the energy to make it to the rose, before its life is quickly snipped to adorn someone's wrist, hair, or other arrangement bouquet? What if we take this same inquisitive and appreciative approach to the hearts, minds, souls, bodies of others? What if we approach with the delicacy we may harm the individual if we approach too quickly, try to simply "grab and go" with our wants, needs, desired goals for us, for them, etc. Some may bleed a little, some... if the blood or arising emotions too thin or too near the surface (of the skin,) may cause a great deal of bleeding or tear potentially requiring a long time to heal any wound created by our careless or mindless approach. Not everyone has the same amount of padding or thick exterior, despite what we are initially shown or told to perceive or receive. So perhaps, we can opt to stop, look, listen, and appreciate all the subtleties and intricacies of the thorns, the stems, the life events that create the life before us... instead of simply appreciating what we've been trained to think are the most valuable parts of a living BEing.

Cobalt-blue bodice, pointers tremble little needle screams, shadows in the eyes of the titties, two twin chapels, between them goes the size of her soul, close the eyes and remain static, cathedral of flavors of private cultivation, the pink mouth gives itself naked in the open air a procession courting the skin.

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
