I get to visit one house after another and listen to people play viol music. After a few years of that life, I leaned to play myself. All you do is draw the bow back and forth!

  • Impassibile Infiammato
    Impassibile Infiammato a journey around Satie by and with Andrea Pandolfo - trumpet, flugelhorn, voice Paolo Pandolfo - electroacoustic viola da gamba, voice Michelangelo Rinaldi - accordion, piano, toy piano Impassibile Infiammato (Impassive in Flames) takes its name from Erik Satie’s surreal and scathing agogics and expressive markings, which Ornella Volta compiled and translated into Italian in her “Quaderni di un mammifero” (“Notebooks of a mammal”) published by Adelphi, Italy. This album is a journey into the poetics of Satie, filtered through our own personal musical sensibility, as we have many years behind us of shared experimenting with sound styles, which are not at all common or mainstream. The musical material of Impassibile Infiammato is comprised of original tracks, music (and words) by Eric Satie, free improvisation and brief incursions into the baroque repertoire for the viola da gamba. Le Trois sonneries de la Rose+Croix (1892) and Sports et Divertissements (1914), were composed by Satie within a time frame spanning from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of World War One. These two tracks are the matrix of our own compositions and more in general they are the source of inspiration for the building and the shaping of our own artistic content and creation. These two compositions, which sometimes appear explicitly and sometimes only as a mere conceptual evocation, represent two opposed polarities, rich in compositional stimuli. The first work shows its ample scale with an abundancy of esoteric suggestions; the second work comes with its lightning brevity and its powerful inventiveness, free from language conventions. The two works also mark a polarised historical distance, which a century later comes to us full of assonances and cross-references to our lives of people of today.

  • A Brief History of Time Chamber Landscapes Curated by Genevieve Lacey
    A Brief History of Time Chamber Landscapes Curated by Genevieve Lacey Friday 8 – Monday 11 March UKARIA Cultural Centre 1 Welcome To be human is to make music. Australian Indigenous people have the oldest living tradition on the planet. They have been singing for millennia, their music passing through Genevieve thousands of generations of ears, hands, and hearts. In Western classical music, we speak of ‘early’ music; music from the Lacey Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. A brief history of time sets Western early music, up to a millennium old, within the time-expanding universe of Indigenous music-making, and then finds a place for us to meet in contemporary Australia. The cast of musicians for a brief history of time comes from different cultures, countries, generations and genres. They are distinguished not only by their extraordinary skill, but also by their generosity and courage as artists. We’re so glad you’re here with us, part of our conversation. Thank you for listening.

  • Clubmediéval 'S First Public Performance Took Place in Antwerp, Belgium in the Summer of 2010, with a Programme of Music by Paolo Da Firenze
    ClubMediéval 's first public performance took place in Antwerp, Belgium in the summer of 2010, with a programme of music by Paolo da Firenze. This small club of friends from across Europe, in their twenties and thirties, weave their unique musical gifts into a rich fabric of vocal and instrumental polyphony, each contributing to a process of experimentation and improvement, until they are ready to invite their audience to be enveloped into their creation. Working with Capilla Flamenca, Mala Punica, Micrologus, Graindelavoix, Concerto Italiano, Jordi Savall, Los Musicos de Su Alteza and l’Arpeggiata amongst many others, the musicians of ClubMed have come to understand that there is ‘truth’ in historically informed performance when each performer's artistic authenticity is allowed to shine forth, and 'beauty' when these different personal truths can meet. Within a spirit of openness and collaboration, the artistic leadership is provided by Thomas Baeté. On the basis of its two first concerts the ensemble has already received critical acclaim, being nominated as ‘Promising Talent of the Year 2010’ by the Flemish classical radio KLARA. ************ Thomas Baeté (°1978) trained as a choirboy and violin player in his hometown of Oostende, Belgium. Later he took up the viola da gamba as an autodidact, before studying it in Brussels and Barcelona with Wieland Kuijken, Jordi Savall and Sophie Watillon. He took masterclasses with Paolo Pandolfo. Currently, he also regularly performs on the medieval fiddle and he can be seen (and heard on recordings) performing with Mala Punica (Pedro Memelsdorff), Capilla Flamenca, Graindelavoix. Thomas was invited to play with the baroque orchestras La Petite Bande and Les Agrémens.
