Deren was also a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer, writer and photographer. (1944).

Continue readingLa obra de Alfredo es fascinante. Lo que os presento hoy es una maravilla, una obra maestra. Una composición hecha con los armónicos resultantes de eliminar el ataque a los sonidos percusivos. Si quitas el ataque a un sonido que has grabado originado por una percusión, lo que queda son armónicos, y son estos armónicos el material con el que Alfredo ha compuesto este trabajo, sin ningún procesado posterior, ni ningún efecto añadido. El resultado es un trabajo con un sonido muy limpio y brillante, con reverberación natural, y muy ambiental. Inesperadamente asequible, agradable en un sentido muy amplio de la palabra. Sería una perfecta banda sonora para una película de ciencia ficción, o para relajarte dejándote llevar por las fluctuaciones del sonido. http://www.costamonteiro.net/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZYHuF6bzos
Continue readingUn dels 2 cd’s publicats per Edicions Nova Era del gran flautista i compositor Jep Nuix, desaparegut fa molt temps, i massa aviat. Josep Nuix i Julibert, més conegut com a Jep Nuix, (Barcelona 23 de setembre de 1955 – 26 d’abril de 1998)[1] fou un compositor i flautista català. Va estudiar flauta, harmonia i contrapunt al Conservatori Superior Municipal de Música de Barcelona, i composició i instrumentació amb Gabriel Brncic. Conegué compositors com Witold Lutoslawski, Luigi Nono, Thomas Kessler, Gerald Bennett i Joan Guinjoan, entre d’altres, que van despertar-li interès a compondre per a tot tipus de formacions: des d’instruments a solo fins a orquestra simfònica, incloent-hi la música electroacústica en tots els seus vessants.[2] Com a compositor va escriure al voltant d’una seixantena d’obres. Una de les beques que va rebre li va permetre ser compositor resident durant un curs a l’estudi de música electrònica del Conservatori de

Continue readingAvui es celebren els 30 anys de activitat artística de Miquel Jordà. Per a mi aquest disc és una obra mestra de la música ambient-minimalista. Delicat i intrigant a l’hora. Difícil de trobar, avui a l’Antic Teatre hi haurà una oportunitat.

Un treball que estimula la creació i la pràctica de la dansa. L’idea és desenvolupar un procés en grup partint de diversos tipus de meditació i improvisació. En les primeres sessions ens trobarem en l’espai de tragantDansa i ens concentrarem en relació a l’espai interior i silenci per posteriorment realitzar una exploració en un espai exterior tranquil del barri de Gràcia. Al final presentarem una “Accion” inspirada en les diferents experiències del silenci i les pràctiques d’improvisació realitzades durant el curs. Per mi el laboratori és una resposta a la constant agressió d’imatges i informació, a través de telèfons, ordenadors, televisions, etc… que vivim en l’actualitat. Una necessitat de crear en silenci per poder escoltar

That was your first mistake. So, let me briefly tell you how good it was and maybe you won’t make that same mistake twice… Blood Quartet are Murnau b (Rueda, Coll & Bela) plus Mark Cunningham Blood Quartet mix feedback, guitar abuse, bludgeoning (yet nimble) bass, deceptive drumming, and fx-laden trumpet. Blood Quartet don’t play so many gigs. They also have a new recording out and that’s what Saturday evening was all about. deep-red-coverThey played pretty much all the material from album, and maybe a new track or two in addition, and it sounded awesome.
