Suspended choirs

Fragment from Epitaph for N.Copernicus

Description: Recording of Roman Berger's Fragment of Epitaph for N.Copernicus. In addition to "traditional" electroacoustic apparatus, modules of the ARP synthesizer were used. A single relatively longer object is initially exposed as a "subject" and some sections of the composition are then intended as its variations. The form of the "epitaph" also ties in with tradition by respecting the principle of symmetry as well as that of evolution. In the background stands the idea of ​​continuous multidimensional… more
