D’après Solaris de Stanislas Lem.
Cette pièce évoque différentes géographies et écosystèmes observées sur une planète lointaine.  A travers un jeu de textures, de résonances et de son ciselés se dévoilent la faune, la flore, ainsi que les émanations étranges, gazeuses d’un environnement en métamorphose.

Commande GMEM Marseille/FRAC Sud pour l'exposition Solaris, 2023

This is a stereo mix of an 8-channel work. This composition utilizes several significant aural illusions to provide the structural underpinnings. Specifically, the work incorporates both Shepard Tones (endless glissandi) and Risset Rhythms (endless accelerando/ritardando) that are featured prominently in several large sections of the work.

DIMENTZIA

I have often thought of myself as a collector, or perhaps more accurately a hoarder, of sounds. These sounds come from a number of sources including household items, children’s toys, musical instruments, and environmental recordings. The act of manipulating these sounds and placing them in a musical context is a process that relies both on compositional strategies and software tools that I have developed. This work represents one possible result when left to my own devices.

When Left To His Own Devices

Generative Soundscapes (2018) [excerpt]

“Stati d’Ansia”, that means “Anxiety Moods” in English, is a study about the dramatic value of the human voice in musical discourse, experimenting with sounds and gestures of the ‘cello.

A female voice recites a poem titled “C1” by Nanni Balestrini, main figure of the Italian Neo-Avant-Grade poetry, who recently passed away in 2019. “C1” was written with an algorithmic system as the result of assembling multiple texts, and has different levels of interpretation.

The formal structure oscillates around the intelligibility level of the voice, the words are deconstructed, in articulation with the cello that moves in the opposite direction replacing the missing and unintelligible words.

Stati d'Ansia - C1 _ Binaural Version

I have long admired the poetry of Robert Gregory, having set one of his poems for voice and fixed media and having been captivated by his work on many occasions. His poetry has provided inspiration for my own work, finding its way into not only my work titles but also into the conceptual foundation of a number of my compositions. When I heard that he had passed away, I spent some time reviewing his work and revisited a recording I had made of Bob reading several of his poems in the early 1990s when we both lived in Miami, Florida. One of the three works I had recorded, and sometimes wind from the south, provided an ideal poem for me to set in memoriam. This text-sound composition is based on Bob's inimitable voice and strives to capture some of his fanciful imagination and lively spirit.
