C.V. De Carlos Gálvez Taroncher Copia CURRICULUM VITAE CARLOS GÁLVEZ TARONCHER (Valencia, 15-10-1976) Ibarrolaburu enparantza 2, 2. esk. 20120 Hernani (Gipuzkoa) Tel.: 644 203 601 [email protected] PERFIL El interés de Carlos por el clarinete bajo despertó gracias a la influencia de su hermano Miguel, compositor. Después de realizar los estudios de clarinete en Madrid, se trasladó a Ámsterdam donde se especializó en clarinete bajo con Harry Sparnaay y obtuvo los títulos de Bachelor y Master (2ª Fase) en dicha disciplina. Durante los últimos 25 años, Carlos ha trabajado con los más prestigiosos ensembles, grupos de cámara y orquestas europeas. También ha estrenado numerosas obras como solista, entre ellas, en estrecha colaboración y bajo la supervisión del propio Pierre Boulez, el estreno mundial de la versión para clarinete bajo de Dialogue de l´ombre double. Ha participado, así mismo, en una de las últimas grabaciones supervisadas por el maestro György Ligeti para la casa discográfica Teldec, en colaboración con el ASKO/ Schoenberg Ensemble de Ámsterdam. Y en 2004 fue invitado por el Nieuw Ensemble para estrenar la polémica ópera Shadowtime de Brian Ferneyhough en Munich, París, Bochum, New York y Londres. Este trabajo directo con compositores y grupos de vanguardia y su consiguiente filosofía, hacen que las herramientas de enseñanza de Carlos sean únicas y así se ha demostrado en su experiencia docente.

  • Sound & Score Seminar
    Sound & Score Seminar Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] December 15‐16, 2010 Ghent, Belgium As an art form based upon sound, music deals with complex semiotic translations and interactions between different perceptual senses and systems of signification: sound, score, meaning. Primarily, music has to do with the invisible, with forces that cannot be seen but that touch listeners in very compelling ways. However, in many cultures ‐ Western and non‐Western ‐ music has been codified in notated form, originating complex written artefacts ‐ the score ‐. Here, different signs and symbols not only allow for the retention and transmission of certain elements of the musical fabric but also liberate forces that are not conceivable without graphic representations. This seminar introduces the act of notating as an important and pivotal activity within the rich array of activities that constitute musical practice. The two‐day international seminar aims at exploring the intimate relation(s) between sound and score and the artistic possibilities that this relationship yields for performers, composers and listeners. Three main perspectives will be adopted: a conceptual approach that allows for contributions from other fields of enquiry (history, musicology, semiotics, etc.), a practical one that takes the skilled body as its point of departure and finally an experimental approach that challenges state‐of‐the‐art practices. Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] The Orpheus Research Centre in Music is based at the Orpheus Instituut in Ghent, Belgium. ORCiM's mission is to produce and promote the highest quality research into music, and in particular into the processes of music‐making and our understanding of them.

  • “Contemporary Compositional Techniques and Openmusic” Rozalie Hirs, Bob Gilmore, Editors Delatour 2009
    “Contemporary compositional techniques and OpenMusic” Rozalie Hirs, Bob Gilmore, editors Delatour 2009 Part One of the book presents extended analytical articles on works by Claude Vivier, Gérard Grisey and Tristan Murail that seek to illuminate their underlying compositional techniques. In an interview specially conducted for this book Murail talks about his use of computers in composing, both as regards to sound synthesis and the actual writing of the score. Rozalie Hirs's article on Murail’s Le Lac (2001) seeks to explain its frequency‐based compositional techniques and the use of OpenMusic during the compositional process, and gives a detailed account of some of the patches used. Bob Gilmore's article on Claude Vivier's Lonely Child (1980) explores the composer's introduction of the compositional principle known as “l'addition des fréquences” into instrumental writing, a process developed without the use of computer technology but one which could easily be formalised in algorithmic terms. Jean‐Luc Hervé's article discusses the compositional techniques and poetic ideas underlying Gérard Grisey's Quatre Chants pour Franchir le Seuil (1997‐1998). The authors provide detailed analyses of these works, focusing on the frequency‐based techniques and compositional processes employed by the composers. The second part of the book originated in ‘OpenMusic and Contemporary Compositional Techniques’, a series of lectures and workshops given by Rozalie Hirs and guest professors Tristan Murail, Mikhail Malt, Benjamin Thigpen, Marco Stroppa, and Niels Bogaards at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam during the 2005/06 academic year. An extensive essay on Tristan Murail’s compositional ideas and frequency‐based techniques originated in the lecture series given by Rozalie Hirs.

  • New Music After Grisey
    ART, Koch International, Mode, Musicworks, Nexus, oodiscs, SYR, Toshiba EMI, and New World, labels among others. After some early compositional attempts in the 1960s, Wolfgang von Schweinitz studied in 1968–76 with Esther Ballou at the American University in Washington, D.C., with Ernst Gernot Klussmann and György Ligeti at the Music Academy in Hamburg, and with John Chowning at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at the Stanford Artifi cial Intelligence Laboratory in California. There he composed the orchestral piece Mozart- Variations, which made his name in Germany in 1977. Returning from traveling in Mexico and Guatemala, he fi rst lived in Munich (1977–78), and then on study at the Villa Massimo in Rome (1978–79). In 1980 he was invited to lecture at the International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt. Having stayed for two years in Berlin, he moved out to the countryside of northern Germany in 1981, where he spent twelve years in quiet seclusion. In 1993 he returned to Berlin. From 1994 to 1996 he worked as a guest professor for composition at the music academy in Weimar. Then he lived in Berlin again, and since September 2007 he is based in southern California, in the western tip of the Mojave Desert, about 30 miles north of CalArts (California Institute of the Arts), where he was invited to assume the succession of James Tenney (Roy E. Disney Family Chair in Musical Composition). LES ESPACES ACOUSTIQUES AND BEYOND: During 1977–96 he composed chamber music for strings and winds as well as a piano trio (Franz & Morton), a number of songs (“Die Brücke”, “Papiersterne”, “O-Ton, Automne— NEW MUSIC AFTER GRISEY Linguistikherbst”), a concert mass, a large-scale piece for music theatre (PATMOS, after the Apocalypse of John) and a symphonic cycle for cello and orchestra (wir aber singen).

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Since its launch in 1982, the Marco Polo label has for twenty years sought to draw attention to unexplored repertoire. Its main goals have been to record the best music of unknown composers and the rarely heard works of well-known composers. At the same time it aspired, like Marco Polo himself, to bring something of the East to the West and of the West to the East. For many years Marco Polo was the only label dedicated to recording rare repertoire. Most of its releases were world première recordings of works by Romantic, Late Romantic and Early Twentieth Century composers, and of light classical music. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again, particularly those whose careers were affected by political events and composers who refused to follow contemporary fashions. Of particular interest are the operas by Richard Wagner’s son Siegfried, who ran the Bayreuth Festival for so many years, yet wrote music more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck. To Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich, and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan), the new catalogue adds Bruder Lustig, which again explores the mysterious medieval world of German legend. Other German operas included in the catalogue are works by Franz Schreker and Hans Pfitzner.
