Bertini, Ficco), Naxos, 2018 on #neuguitars #blog Posted by ANDREA AGUZZI on 27 AUGUST 2018 Outsiders: review of GIULIANI, M.: Vocal and Guitar Music – Grande Ouverture / Variations on a Theme from Handel’s Harmonious Blacksmith / Cavatina (R. Bertini, Ficco), Naxos, 2018 http://www.davideficco.com/ https://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=TC780703 From contemporary music to romantic music. The Italian Maestro Davide Ficco returns to romantic music with this repertoire dedicated to solo works for voice and guitar by the great guitarist Mauro Giuliani. Even those who have a superficial knowledge of the world of classical guitar shall appreciate the work of this great virtuoso, a vast, heterogeneous work characterized by an idiomatic and easily recognizable writing. In this CD, produced by the Italian record company Tactus, we find, for voice and guitar, “6 Ariette, Op. 95”, “Romance, à Marie Louise d’Austrie, au Berceau de son Fils in Op. 27”, “6 Cavatine, Op. 39 “,” Cavatina, Op. 79: Theme and Variations: Alla bolero “and for solo guitar the” Grande Ouverture, Op. 61 “, “Variations on a Theme from Handel’s Harmonious Blacksmith, Op. 107 “and “Grand Sonata Eroica in A Major, Op. 150”. All very interesting music and performed with considerable skill and expertise. To draw more my attention are the following thoughts, written by Maestro Ficco in the booklet accompanying the CD: “Following this path, the recordings in this disc contain some variants in the reprises; here they are particularly evident in the solo pieces. The variants have been conceived allowing for the general composition context, and venturing – rather boldly – to revise the reprise of the statement in the Gran Sonata eroica op. 150 and in the Variazioni su un tema di Haendel op. 107, with a return to a more specifically Baroque style, almost a homage to the great Saxon composer, that gradually leads to classical aesthetics (the variations present a slow transition through two successive styles). The vocal part, on the contrary, contains embellishments that belong to a performance practice that by then was well- established in the performers’ customary repertoire. The choice of varying the reprises tends to free these pieces from an excessive, rigid fidelity to the text and from the effort (albeit a justified one) of achieving an “objective” reading. This had determined, with time, the loss of a free, flexible interpretation, both in the listener’s ear and in the taste and capability of the performers. Improvisation, in other words: in Giuliani’s times the need to vary what had just been stated was still felt, although the seriousness and completeness of many authorial works severely limited the performer’s contribution. So we decided, this way, to imagine that the generous Mauro Giuliani was indulging in some fanciful passages in order, once again, to astonish his devoted public.” Personally I found these words very interesting, they deserve to be thorough. They offer new ideas and new light for the interpretation of Giuliani’s pieces. A really good job.

  • BALONI Presskit French
    BALONI Joachim Badenhorst, Frantz Loriot & Pascal Niggenkemper baloni, soit Joachim Badenhorst le belge souffleur (clarinettes, saxophone ténor), Frantz Loriot l'altiste (violon-alto) français et Pascal Niggenkemper le contrebassiste franco-allemand se sont rencontrés à Brooklyn, New York en 2008. Une triple entente fondée sur l’écoute de l’autre, la possibilité d’étendre pour chacun son champ d’investigation. Résultat : ces trois funambules osent le saut vers l’inconnu, le vertige de l’instant présent. À les suivre dans les chemins escarpés, ces courbes jonchées de mélodies aussi fugaces que tenaces, on ne sait ce qui tient de l’improvisation et de l’écrit. Peu importe le flacon, pourvu que l’ivresse soit au bout de cette traversée poétique. baloni a tissé un lien complice avec le label portugais clean feed depuis 2011 et trois enregistrements ont vu le jour sur le label : "Fremdenzimmer" en novembre 2011, puis "belleke" en juillet 2014, et enfin "Ripples", en format vinyle, sorti en mars 2015. JOACHIM BADENHORST - clarinets & saxophone (Belgium). Joachim Badenhorst (1981 Antwerpen) is one of the biggest talents of the Belgian jazz scene. Joachim was chosen 'rising star Clarinet of 2013' in the renown Annual Downbeat Critic's Poll (U.S.A.) .Joachim Badenhorst was chosen ‘Clarinet player of 2011` by a group of international jazz critics in the‘4th Annual Intruso Critics Poll’. Joachim is featured on more than 30 recordings. On Belgian labels (De Werf, Igloo, Home Records, Rat- Records, Spocus, El negocito records) and international labels (Songlines-Canada, ILK-Denmark, Fresh Sound New Talent-Spanje, Cleanfeed-Portugal, Nobusiness-Lithuania, Red Toucan-Canada).

    An Open Source Journal published through the Auspices of the Poison Pie Publishing House, Knoxville, Tennessee Editor-in-Chief: David J. Keffer† Mission Statement: The purpose of An International Journal of Exploratory Meta-Living is to provide a resource for the dissemination of creative works relevant to the subject of meta-living. The journal welcomes both academic and artistic exercises expressed in any medium capable of being transmitted through the physical mechanisms of the journal. Due consideration also will be given to submissions that do not conform to these mechanisms. The journal explicitly forbids the establishment of a regular publication schedule. Meta-Living: One useful avenue leading toward an understanding of the term meta-living is through analogy, particularly by considering meta-fiction. Wikipedia, the oracle of all contemporary knowledge, defines meta- fiction as “the literary term describing fictional writing that self-consciously and systematically draws attention to its status as an artifact in posing questions about the relationship between fiction and reality, usually using irony and self-reflection.”1 By straight-forward analogy, meta-living is the existential term describing a manner of living that self-consciously and systematically draws attention to its status as an artifact in posing questions about the relationship between existence and reality, using irony and self-reflection among other devices. These other devices include, but are not limited to, scientific inquiry, ontology, various theologisms, sophistry, rhetoric, tomfoolery, transcendental perspectivism and, of course, the omnipresent specter of post-existential relativism. 1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metafiction, accessed 2014 April 16.

The discourse begins with a succinct description of the concept of polymediali- ty, which involves two dimensions: the work-immanent compositional dimen- sion and polymediality in the process of staging (Chapter I). Chapter II considers literary sources as a constituent component of music’s polymediality. The first part is preoccupied with the implementation of textual elements and vocality in

  • Tuning in Opposition
    TUNING IN OPPOSITION: THE THEATER OF ETERNAL MUSIC AND ALTERNATE TUNING SYSTEMS AS AVANT-GARDE PRACTICE IN THE 1960’S Charles Johnson Introduction: The practice of microtonality and just intonation has been a core practice among many of the avant-garde in American 20th century music. Just intonation, or any system of tuning in which intervals are derived from the harmonic series and can be represented by integer ratios, is thought to have been in use as early as 5000 years ago and fell out of favor during the common practice era. A conscious departure from the commonly accepted 12-tone per octave, equal temperament system of Western music, contemporary music created with alternate tunings is often regarded as dissonant or “out-of-tune,” and can be read as an act of opposition. More than a simple rejection of the dominant tradition, the practice of designing scales and tuning systems using the myriad options offered by the harmonic series suggests that there are self-deterministic alternatives to the harmonic foundations of Western art music. And in the communally practiced and improvised performance context of the 1960’s, the use of alternate tunings offers a Johnson 2 utopian path out of the aesthetic dead end modernism had reached by mid-century. By extension, the notion that the avant-garde artist can create his or her own universe of tonality and harmony implies a similar autonomy in defining political and social relationships. In the early1960’s a New York experimental music performance group that came to be known as the Dream Syndicate or the Theater of Eternal Music (TEM) began experimenting with just intonation in their sustained drone performances.

Bei den Konfrontationen 2012 nehmen sie unter dem Duo-Namen ONA diese sehr spannende Zusammenarbeit wieder auf. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ilpo Väisänen (FIN) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Sonic Together with Mika Vainio, Ilpo Väisänen was part of the Finnish duo Pan Sonic, one of the most ground-breaking and innovating projects in contemporary electronic music. In a musical form in which sequencing and recording music using computers is standard, the group was known for recording everything live, straight to DAT (Digital Audio Tape) using home-made and modified synthesizers and effect units. In December 2009 their split was announced. Mika and Ilpo will continue with their own solo projects. Ilpo’s former releases on his own label Kangaroo, a sub-label of Raster-Noton, have clearly shown his personal affinity with dub music. Actually he is also playing some kind of free- form noise with a tendency to drone with Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) in the duo Angel. --- BIO Ilpo Väisänen: born in Kuopio, Finland, in 1963 studied flute at the conservatory as a young student studied visual arts and
