Combinaisons en cercles

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's Combinaisons en cercles. It is a version at the request of Partita Radicale with a new timbral guise.

Concentric. A question with two answers.

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's "Concentric. A question with two answers." for instrumental ensemble and tape. The piece is a reaction to Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question," which is, in comparison, schizoid in nature, marked by breach, discord, disparity and incommunicability. There are three layered music layers in "Concentric" which join together to create a kind of communion that is timeless through the use of resonant harmonic issued by a fundamental sound C, placed in the deepest regist… more

Dialogos 1

Description: Recording of Francisco Kropfl's Dialogos 1. This work uses complexes of short of electronic sounds with long reverberations of the round 10 seconds each, thanks to the natural reverberation chamber build at the studio at that time.
