This is an excert from Schoenberg's quintet for woodwinds. We've performed this great piece in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where this recording was taken from.
This quintet is one of Schoenberg's first attempts in his newly established 12 tone methode. He has written a few rather short piano pieces before but this was a more ambitious attempt to write something of a rather large scale. The first movement is about 15 minutes long, the whole piece is around 40 minutes long. It might be very difficult to listen to at first but it has very special and exciting moments, and it's music which is very worthwhile to get to know.

Arnold Schoenberg woodwind quintet op. 26

À Inés Wickmann
Symbole  archétypique de renaissance et de continuité, quel est ce Phœnix musical ? 
Une trace/confirmation de la vitalité acousmatique en ce début de XXIème siècle, assurément. 
Mais, pour moi, il s’agit aussi d’une vie nouvelle insufflée à des cendres sonores désertées, à de très anciennes prises de son et à des extraits réanimés mais travestis d’œuvres instrumentales. Éternel retour, si l’on veut, le présent — tellement présent aujourd’hui — n’étant finalement que le passé du futur.

F.D.

Commande de l’INA-GRM, l’œuvre comporte trois mouvements et a été composée dans le studio personnel de l’auteur en Avignon. Création mondiale le 8 octobre 2016 à Paris, concert INA-GRM.

										To Inés Wickmann

An archetypal symbol of rebirth and continuity, what is this musical Phoenix?
A trace / confirmation of the acousmatic vitality at the beginning of the XXIst century, of course.
But, for me, it is also a new life given to ancient musical ashes, very old recordings and reanimated but transvestites extracts of instrumental works. A kind of eternal return, the present - so prominent today - being finally only the past of the future.


Phoenix XXI was commissioned by the INA-GRM. The work comprises three movements in chains and was composed in the author's personal studio in Avignon. World premiere on October 8th 2016 in Paris (MPAA Saint Germain), concert INA-GRM.

John Cage: In a Landscape

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.
