Title Description:
This is a composition I performed live in several versions.Usually the titleÊ
integrates the language of the place where the piece is performed. In allÊ
the performances there is a basic repertoire of sounds - a nucleus of treeÊ
recordings made in a mountain forest close to the Italian/Slovenian borderÊ
in 1998, which in the performance arrangement became broadened with moreÊ
recent material from 2000 (for example compilation work such asÊ
Multiplication, a re-interpretation of a composition by John Hudak) as wellÊ
as different older material like Elapsed Time (released by IntransitiveÊ
Recordings, USA), and remixes I made in autumn/winter 2000 of older workÊ
dating from 1992 and 1993, some of the latter featured on the CD TransitionÊ
(released by Edition..., USA). The tree recordings were made by shaking theÊ
trees, thus the patterns of the sounds were generated partly by the plants,Ê
partly by human intervention, and arranged later according to coincidencesÊ
and inherent keys in the material. Some of the performances wereÊ
characterized by long silent pauses (up to two minutes). On this CD,Ê
Integration of Silence reflects this fact.
Ê
IntegraŤ‹o
now bears a title in portuguese without location, because it was notÊ
performed. Never-theless it sits as a studio version encoded on a compactÊ
disc released in Portugal. For the version on this CD I used the treeÊ
recordings along with a few field recordings of urban infrastructure, madeÊ
during the preparation of the composition Advanced Environmental Control andÊ
later, preserving the original intention of the first performance:Ê
integration of a naturalistic and a technicized conception of sound."
Ê
The CD version does neither contain any live recordings norÊ
the original sound of the auxiliary speakers which were specifically madeÊ
for the Integration performances.
