For Trainspotters Only

 

On her debut album Belgian based multi-instrumentalist Ann Eysermans explores the possibilities of the train as a music instrument: a deep quest into a fascinating and mesmerizing world, which started as a five year old kid, when she climbed on board of the train helm station during a trip from Antwerp to Ostend.

For the compositions ‘Prelude and Fuga For Four Diesel Locomotives And Harp’ Eysermans had the chance to capture the sounds of diesel locomotives (HD 51, 54, 55 and 60) of the Belgian Train World Heritage collection.

Microscopic hissing vibrations of steaming engines slowly entwine and resonate with fragile harp playing, getting on track for an unconventional sonic rail journey.

A melancholic odyssey of sound in motion: Ann Eysermans let the sparkling harp notes dissolve into the tones of pulsating train wheels.

On the B-side she bends her soft singing voice around deranged horn melodies in ‘Le Départ’, connects delayed organ harmonies in ‘De Vertraging’ with the dying frequencies of a trembling and humming locomotive from the 60’s.

On the key track ‘For Trainspotters Only’ Ann Eysermans assembles a hauntingly piece of musique concrete with clanging chimes, broken music boxes, ghostly whispers and throbbing machine room sounds.

A lonely barking dog and the last train announcement on a desolate platform in ‘Chorale’ also mark the last part of this spellbinding record.

On ‘For Trainspotters Only’ Ann Eysermans takes you on an immersive and meandering ride, connecting the dots between the free spirit of Alice Coltrane, the orchestrated field recording compositions of Chris Watson, Basil Kirchin soundtrack vibes and the magic realism of Claire Rousay.

Marko Ciciliani
TRANSGRESSIONS

 

This release presents four performance-based audiovisual works by Marko Ciciliani, performed by Barbara Lüneburg (violins), Szilard Benes (bass-clarinet) and himself (live-electronics):

 

The works have resulted from Ciciliani’s long-standing preoccupation with musical composition that extends to visual media. Those works show diverse approaches in the articulation of the relationships between performance, sound and visuals. They range from tight ‘mickey mousy’-synchronizations - most prominently to be found in Via and Formula minus One, via counterpuntal settings – as in Time Machine, to very loose layerings, which characterize certain sections of STEINA

 

This release consists of a book with 72 pages and a USB data carrier, beautifully designed by Isabelle Vigier. The USB stick contains HD video recordings of the four audiovisual compositions. Apart from short introductions into the individual pieces, the book contains a reprint of Marko Ciciliani’s text Music in the Expanded Field which is based on a lecture he gave on August 10, 2016 at the International Summer Courses in Darmstadt. Although he does not directly address his own compositions in this text, it is a detailed description of his understanding of interdisciplinary composition, and therefore also of his own work.

Sonitum Horarium
Hans Beckers

In 2012 werd Sonitum Horarium in opdracht van ChampdAction uitgewerkt voor de 9de editie van het Time Canvas Festival in het M HKA (org. ChampdAction). Voor Sonitum Horarium wordt zand gebruikt uit verschillende werelddelen. Elk soort zand laat zijn eigen specifieke ruis en klank horen. De klank wordt bepaald door de textuur en de fijnheid of korreligheid van het zand. Voor Sonitum Horarium wordt niet alleen de klank van het zand gebruikt, maar ook elke klank die voortkomt uit de installatie.

Hans Beckers: Sonitum Horarium, Sand organ, Table noise machine (played with electric toothbrushes, a massage machine, a pedipeel machine, all kinds of transformers and chargers, sponges, an electrified wire loop machine, winchester clock elements, static electricity, bicycle lights, electric clocks and chalk grains

Cloud Chamber
Peter Jacquemyn: double bass & voice
Stefan Prins: live-electronics

Clouds are generally amorphous.
A cloud can assume virtually any shape to someone looking at the skies with a bit of fantasy.
Cloud Chamber: a little cloud of chamber music for those open to listening with a bit of fantasy.

Peter Jacquemyn - October 2016

According to particle physics, a cloud chamber is a container made of supersaturated water or alcohol. When an otherwise imperceptible charged particle passes through it, a trace is left specific to that particle's shape. If a uniform magnetic field is applied across the chamber, the differently charged particles curve in opposite directions, creating elaborate traces.
In essence, improvising is like creating a cloud chamber. Inside the container of a performance, the unheard is made audible and energy is transformed into a network of traces and trajectories. Peter's double bass and my electronics act as a constantly changing magnetic field that curves these particles into different densities, constellations and forms. They appear for a fraction of an instance and then evaporate until the next particle makes its entry.

Coalesce - Benjamin Van Esser

Coalesce is een compositiecyclus die Benjamin specifiek schreef voor zijn doctoraal onderzoek ‘[IN]VISIBLE: Towards an Artistic Performance Strategy for Computer Musicians’. Het onderzoekt de rol van de computermuzikant in ‘live performance situaties’. Doorheen deze cyclus, die bestaat uit 6 elektro-akoestische composities, evolueert de computer muzikant geleidelijk aan van een onzichtbare entiteit, die zich enkel manifesteert door middel van computerprogramma’s, tot een belichaamde uitvoerder die zijn instrument bespeelt op het podium. Hiermee tracht deze compositiecyclus niet enkel aan te tonen dat de aanwezigheid van de computer muzikant op het podium belangrijk is in een elektro-akoestische omgeving, het wil tevens een notie van artisticiteit vestigen, die ontstaat vanuit en uitgedragen wordt door de computermuzikant en deze in staat stelt om de communicatie tussen uitvoerder en toeschouwer te verbeteren.

miniatures - 64-Feet

 Whilst observing a miniature image, a small feature of a wooden ornament,

an illustration or an ancient manuscript, one can sense a totaly different reality.

When observing more closely, one sees a world full of colours, forms, layers and materials.

The creation process becomes apparent. One gets an expression of the complexity of the image,

which lingers in the memory.

64-Feet

 

 

Op deze cd MINIATURES stelt het orgelduo 64-Feet  (Marie-Noëlle Bette en Iris Eysermans) een bijzonder programma voor met de combinatie van hedendaagse en middeleeuwse composities.

Het duo 64-Feet “blaast een nieuwe wind” in de orgelwereld door een verrassende programmatie te brengen met oude en nieuwe muziek, en waar het gebruik van nieuwe technologie, live-electronics, synthesizer en elektronische orgels niet geschuwd wordt. Het zorgt voor een logische evolutie van de orgelbouw en biedt aan het orgel een nieuwe plaats in onze hedendaagse wereld.

MONOLITH – Takao Hyakutome

“Perhaps our struggle to search for new music, as we do now, might seem totally nonsensical for advanced beings of higher dimensions. Idling in such thoughts, I can picture an unknown, mysterious and far more intelligent species having built a MONOLITH for their own reasons, and yet nobody knows when it was raised nor if it would ever move or vanish in the future, as in the SF novel 2001: A Space Odyssey by A.C. Clarke.” 

All the compositions featured on MONOLITH showcase the extensive palette of the acoustic violin and prove its utility in the individual musical language of each of the composers. Ferneyhough’s piece displays complex rhythmical figures. Malondra explores sub-harmonics and enthusiastically uses extended techniques. These are also broadly utilized by Frenkel. Finally, Kiyama’s heavily distorted sound, as if electric devices were in use, contrasts well with the intimate and fragile tone of Baltakas. These outstanding works cohere and coalesce into something that gradually draws apart from the solid idiom of classical music.

r e c i p r o c i t y   n i c o  c o u c k   g u i t a r s

In Reciprocity Nico Couck explores the possibilities of the back-and-forth motion. Be it in physical energy, sounding textures, or even in the performer's approach to the instrument. How can constantly interpolating gestures become relevant and substantial in musical practice?

Simon Steen-Andersen's work transforms musical information to visuals in the opposite way of Mark Applebaum's work. Johannes Kreidler creates a multi-dimensional space of sounding and 'außermusikalischer' motion - while Clemens Gadenstaetter's music balances on the verge of instrumental sonorities and spoken word. Marko Ciciliani comments and questions both the pop and contemporary music scene, using The Beatles' Yesterday as point of reference. And finally, new work by Stefan Beyer in which the semantics of sound production are compromised.

TRAILER

"Couck brings tremendous technique to Reciprocity: the album really is as much about the composer’s instructions as it is about the musician’s interpretation, and the listener gains a real sense of a dynamic relationship between the two axes. Each work, Couck writes in his excellent sleeve notes, is ‘based on materials that do not belong together’ and this is reflected in tone and structure throughout." Louise Gray (2014). Polansky et al.. Tempo, 68, pp 86-88

DIG DEEP double bass & voice - Peter Jacquemyn

‘La ruta nos aportó otro paso natural’ palindroom van de Compostela bedevaar–ders, ‘de weg bezorgt ons de vanzelfsprekende volgende stap’.
Zo werken mijn solo-improvisaties, elke klank brengt onvermijdelijk, op natuurlijk associatieve wijze een volgende klank met zich mee.
Ik construeer niet, de muzikale ontwikkeling voltrekt zich vanuit een interne associatieve logica, de muziek stuurt zichzelf, ik ben het toevallig, weliswaar onmisbaar, vehikel dat voor de transmissie, de “Darstellung” zorgt.
