***
RED HOT is inspired by one of the most famous and bizarre fairytales, “Little Red Riding Hood”, that has circled European folklore since the 10th century; but inspiration was drawn as well from various cinematographic sources, such as Tex Avery’s brilliant cartoon from 1943 (where the characters are sexualized and urbanized) or Jan Kounen’s short film Le Dernier Chaperon Rouge (1997), starring Emmanuelle Béart, a surrealist jewel in which the grotesque and the nightmarish balances an idealised and profoundly strange vision of the forrest. Each of the three parts is based on a distinct repetitive pattern: Ballerina (Kouen inspired) is a music box dominated by thirds that gradually deteriorates; Amoris Chaconne is an imaginary spiral-constructed film music (inspired by the structure of a real film, Los amantes del círculo polar by Julio Medem, 1998); finally, Wolf on a Hot Tin Roof is a visceral ludic imaginary folk music (a paraphrase on another famous love story, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 1958). The work is a commission of the Romanian Union of Composers and Musicologists and written for Mercury Quartet.

1. Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
2. Art-as-Art. Art from Art. Art on Art. Art of Art. Art for Art. Art beyond Art. Artless artifice.
13. Forms into uniform and formlessness. Style as recurrence.
14. Light as reappearance,dullness. Color as black, empty.
16. Verticality and horizontality, rectilineartity, parallelsim, stasis.
17. Outlines, monotones, blankness, quiescence, premeditation.
19. Matter only to the mind.
20. The strictest formula for the freest artistic freedom.
21. The easiest routine to the difficulty.
22. The most common mean to the most common end.
23. The extremely impersonal way for the truly personal.
24. The completest control for the purest spontaneity.
25. The most universal path to the most unique. And vice-versa.

Ok Mood

In airde sna spéartha bhí lampa mór buí ar a
dtugtaí an ghrian ag sileadh teasa agus
solais anuas orainn.

High up in the skies there was a yellow
lamp known as the sun, shedding heat and
light down upon us.
