Greensleeves

Renaissance Compost takes the experimental, microtonal piece "Musica Prisca Caput", by Nicola Vicentino c.1555, and treats it to a process of decomposition involving repetitive improvisation and extended techniques.
Acting like enzymes breaking down organic matter, the performers collaboratively weave an improvised tissue of timbres, intervals and silences that emerge from the diffraction, repetition and savoring of the original score’s notes.

Performed for Spiegelungen festival, Jazzcampus, Basel, 9 November 2024.

Renaissance Compost

A decomposition of a re-transcribed 6-bar extract from "L'Enharominque" by Jean-Philippe Rameau in his Nouvelles Suites de pièces de clavecin (1727). Although the original title's use of the word "enharmonic" seems to refer refer to the multiple harmonic positions held by one pitch, here the original notes are re-transcribed into the actual "enharmonic" genus as it was conceived by the 16th century theorist Nicola Vicentino, resulting in many more transitory pitches.

This performance took place on July 5, 2024, Eglise Sainte Aurélie, Strasbourg, France, as part of the festival Les Habité·es.

Performers:
Mara Winter (traverso)
Johanna Bartz (traverso)
Anna-Kaisa Meklin (viola da gamba)
