http://cargocollective.com/luciengaudion/Nocturne-I

nocturne I est une « musique pour la nuit » elle s’inspire de celles composées au début du XIXéme siècle par les compositeurs de musique romantique et nous plonge dans un paysage sonore synthétique explorant une faune nocturne travestie par des procédés de synthèses sonores.

Cette pièce se joue sur un dispositif de hauts parleurs mobile, la nuit et en extérieur sur un dispositif d’enceintes mobiles sur batteries.

Première écoute sur l'archipel du frioul le 8 octobre 2016.

La Copule - mouvement 3

Lever d'un Jour

An oral/aural exploration of the creative work, materiality, practice, and history of the four individuals who compose the collective Sacred Realism. Although their work as individuals is rather varied and unique, there is something similar (or not?) at the core as to why they each chose to become musicians. Through a threaded conversation and collective listening they (we) will try to understand further what the core of the collective is by each asking the other some questions about it and the work we do.

Sacred Realism is an independent music collective producing scores, recordings, and concerts. It formed through the friendship and mutual respect of Andrew Lafkas, Bryan Eubanks, and Catherine Lamb in 2011 in New York City following the desire to support each others work and initiate something self sustaining. Rebecca Lane joined later in 2017 in Berlin after the three others had eventually migrated there.

Fredrik Rasten: acoustic guitar, voice

Svevning is a Norwegian word meaning levitation or flying, in the sense of flying without
effort – like when a bird is fully supported by the airstream, merely gliding.

Svevning also refers to interference or beating, the acoustic phenomenon that occurs when
two tonal sounds differ in pitch only slightly. When two tones are sustained with stability, their difference in frequency manifests sonically as a pulsating pattern of vibration. As the difference in frequency between the two tones increases, the speed, or frequency of the pulse increases correspondingly until a point or
area is reached where the difference is no longer heard as a pulse, but as a tone. This is
what is known as a difference tone.

I do not know how the two meanings of ‘svevning’ (in German, Schwebung) relate to each
other etymologically, but I find a latent poetry in their combined meanings and connotations.

Svevning is an extension of my earlier piece Limn. The music unfolds as an ever-changing continuum of chords, propelled by open strings and their harmonic nodes, slowly interwoven by retuning, patterns of plucking and occasional
voice.
