This version of: Sudden Daydream, (in)somnia (co)incidental Diversity composed for the ISCM World New Music Days 2024. It is one of the 6 nominated works by Nieuw Geneco, (Dutch Contemporary Composers). Unfortunately not selected for presentation during World Music Days on Faroe Islands in 2024... 

One day, two successive improvisations with percussion and vibraphone suddenly coincide, sliding over each other, reinforcing each other, moving their sounds back and forth, the chance-denying synthesis of melodies and rhythms in dialogue with the environment as a diverse ecological set of layered sounds. A sudden daydream as if sleep overtakes us or doesn't want to catch us anymore... Like an “anthropo(s)cene”, listening attentively to the changing soundscape. A musical wakeup call: the unexpected silent cry from the cymbal for preserving a layered bio diverse sounding ecology for future generations of all living species.

All instruments, sounds played, recorded and produced by the composer.

The longer 30 min. version of Sudden Daydream, (in)somnia (co)incidental diversity will be published on the new album: "(in)somnia, sounding eco trance-sitions" , including 5 more sonic journeys.  Listen on Bandcamp:

Ricardo Huisman is an Amsterdam based soundsculpture / installation artist, soundscape composer, community sound artist and artistic researcher. Inspired by Acoustic Ecology, Music Concrete, J. Cage, Avant-garde, Contemporary (Classical) Music, Sound- and Sense studies.  His installations can be experienced as multi-sensorial tactile interfaces. The “touchsound” produced by his “tactile sonic sculptures” includes composed soundscapes that reveal multiple associative dimensions, bodily sensations that could give rise to new spaces for imagination and playfull knowledge. Huisman invites people to interact within his community sound art projects, to become co-creators of their own “multisensorial hearing perspectives” and response-able and responsible joint owners of the sound habitat.

aka  DJ SENSESCAPE 
ear by ear live mixing “sensescapes”, like sound journeys, imaginary  ambiances, creating new music by instant composing with use of own field recordings and midi instruments. Presenting them with or without "tactile sonic sculptures".

The Estonian Music Days festival, held since 1979, focuses on the latest music by Estonian composers.
The festival "SADA / 100" will take place from April 25 – May 4, 2025.
