Víctor Ortiz - Newen (Ma b)

Entre los organismos presentes en la naturaleza que emiten luz propia existe un fenómeno conocido como "mareas rojas luminiscentes" o "bioluminiscencia del plancton”. En algunas costas del Caribe se encuentran microorganismos unicelulares que emiten una luz azul-verde cuando son perturbados mecánicamente, como cuando el agua se agita o cuando los tocas. Ocurre en muy específicas circunstancias, cuando la noche es realmente oscura y las condiciones de visibilidad son buenas. Estas luces aparecen en forma de pequeños puntos de luz en movimiento alrededor de las manos y pies de los bañistas, o en la cresta de las olas formando haces de mayor tamaño.

 

Esta imagen inspiró el título de la pieza, enmarcada dentro de un ciclo de obras de la autora caracterizado por el trabajo alrededor de la luz y el movimiento. En este caso se emulan en cierta manera esos destellos que aparecen dentro de una masa oscura de sonido, así como la noción de observar un mismo material bajo luces muy distintas.

«Mimma’amaqim» (Out of the depths)

Premiere: Stadtcasino Basel – Musiksaal, January 25, 2024
10th Mizmorim Chamber Music Festival Basel
Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO)
Basler Madrigalisten
Tito Ceccherini, conductor
Recorded by SRF (Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen)

This Psalm is a cry, a call out for help, for being heard by God.
It is often described as a canticle of gradual ascent (Shir Hama’a lot). This ascent could be understood as a rise from the abyss to redemption.
I believe this Psalm could resonate with many, even non-believers, as it shows a universal and tragic part of human life and human nature. That is the experience of grief, depression, abuse, solitude or simply being in a place so dark that leads to despair.
But it also sends a message of light, optimism, and hope, through the conviction that one will be heard.
Even inf it comes from the Hebrew tradition it shows universal values that can be embraced by many cultures and promote tolerance and acceptance. In fact, this psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies.
In this sense, during the piece the text follows a chronological use and adaptation throughout the Judaism and the different versions of Christianism: Latin: 530, Rule of Saint Benedict; German: Martin Luther Hymns, 1524, al and eventually the English: King James Version from 1610

The time has almost come
We will merge as one
You extend your hand
To be forever placed in mine
Witness me
Frightened as can be
Shivers through my spine
Shaking me this evening

Day, day and night, all the time
And our path is one, naked, unmarked
Day, day and night, all the time
Jointly and apart
Faithful to me, to us

Loving you tonight as we are moulded and steered
Loving you tonight as my excitement is drowning my fear
I'm blinded, I'm seared
Ever hoping, drawing near

Slowly now
Revealing we allow
Who I am, who you are
And maybe, maybe learn just how
To concede
Read each other's need
Till remains indeed
Only but our loving

Day, day and night, all the time
And our path is one, naked, unmarked
Day, day and night, all the time
Jointly and apart
Faithful to me, to us

Loving you tonight as we are moulded and steered
Loving you tonight as my excitement is drowning my fear
I'm blinded, I'm seared
Ever hoping, drawing near

🎵

אוהב אותך הלילה ואיתך מתעצב
אוהב אותך הלילה ואיתך מתלהב עד הלב
עד כאב
מקווה, מתקרב

Almost now
Dawn will light the blue
I’m drunken through and through
My senses holding onto you
Keep you by
Till the end is nigh
Till our song is sung
The final beating of the drum

Si la obra quiere ser espejo del texto, entonces la presencia del texto en la música no puede sino tener la estructura de una ausencia.

Espejos aborda el vínculo entre texto y música incluyendo dentro de su construcción estructural el concepto central de dos poesías concretas de Octavio Armand, concepto que está íntimamente ligado al funcionamiento del lenguaje; este concepto es el de presencia-ausencia. Para dar cuenta de este concepto la obra utiliza una metodología que se basa fundamentalmente en la ausencia de la materialidad del texto, lo cual da lugar a la presencia de un nuevo material (sonido) que funciona como suplemento; de esta manera la obra devuelve una re-presentación sonora de la estructura formal de las poesías, pero despojada de su materialidad textual original.
