Our initial dialog with Synthia was an adventurous creative endeavour that made us question whether machines could have a soul. This one definitely spoke her mind, and left a fascinating mark on both of us as a wondrous machine––––––woman, a marvelous piece of engineering, an entity trapped in a modular eternity.

Considering that neither of us had any previous contact with such a complex modular system such as EMS Synthi 100, we took a somewhat intuitive approach. This is a fairly raw glimpse of the first days spent in the studio.

Oh, Synthia, we only just met...

Happy birthday Mark!!!

Recording from Berlin Konzerthaus 31.08.2016

Performed by Orchestra of Estonian Academy of Music and Theater, conducted by Paul Mägi.

Based on a single shape, the piece consists of two different natural harmonic rows ( first part following the natural harmonics available on cello strings and second part being a combination of harmonics of other string instruments). Every natural string harmonic has its unique character, depending on the string it is produced on. Touching the string lightly can produce icy high tones or warm, flute like, lower resonances. It is an attempt to bring out the poetry of the microtonal landscape of these particular rows and observe the constant change of tone combinations that mostly occur only once. Other instruments extend the harmonies and give breathe to the structure. To add immediacy, some freedom to make intuitive choices is given to the musicians. While studying the material, I had a picture stuck in my mind as making one of the gigantic wind driven and self moving sculptures of the dutch artist Theo Jansen, hoping that if I get the calculations right, the piece will also catch a wind and reveal something in the sound, that I was unaware of.
