Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco

Description: Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco. The title references to the importance of sensorial experience (dionis’aco) in concrete music creation, opposite to the microcomposition in the land of sonora synthesis, that is more rational (apol’neo). In this way, both working modes are contraposed all over the piece, though clearly limited sections with short silences or for the clear identity of different sonorous-musical materials. The last section highlights the characteristic motives… more

Les cloches buissonnières

Description: Recording of Andrew Peggie's Les cloches buissonnières. This work (The truanting bells) was approached as a multi-track improvisation.

Subsequent tracks moved into and out of the suggested tonality at random. This piece was realized on relatively primitive equipment: Korg M3R and Roland Super-JX synthesizers with MIDI links to a Amiga … more

Le complexe du simple
