01. QUEM A OMAGEM DA VIRGEN

A gentle soothing composition for harpsichord cello and contrabass full of sadness and yet also innocently happy, like looking out of a window on a rainy day.

Beyond Neptune

A live recording of the premier of a solo bass piece, written and performed for a concert of five different realizations/interpretations of James Tenney's "For Percussion Perhaps, Or... (Night)" (1971). Adapted/extended from an etude I wrote about a year ago with the purpose of training my ears and fingers for extended just intonation and microtonal shifts. The title alludes to both Tenney and to Tartini tones, of which I attempt to achieve expanded versions.

Performed December 21st, 2022 at Common Sage.
Ari Smith - Contrabass
Special thanks to Tim Russell and Liz Sexe for putting together the event.

Artificial cranial enlargement is the 7th album from contrabassist and noise artisan Artstractos. This release features a series of improvisations inspired by the concept of artificial cranial enlargements. The practice of cranial modification, also known as cranial reshaping or head shaping, has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. This album explores the bioarchaeology of this practice within the context of Mesoamerica, delving into the cultural, social, and biological significance of cranial modification in precolonial times.
 
The tracks on this album range from haunting and atmospheric to dark and sinister overtones, all with a foundation in the rich, sonorous harmonics of the contrabass.

Artstractos blurs the lines between music and noise in both composition and performance. The result is a unique blend of timbres and dissonant textures, a genre-bending collection of vignettes that obfuscate boundaries between music and sonic collages created on Contrabass, Theremin and homemade plug-ins.

Artstractos is the brainchild of Harold Sotomayor a 
multi-instrumentalist noise artisan.
