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

Lettre à une demoiselle

Description: Recording of Christian Clozier's Lettre à une demoiselle. This piece uses music written on a newspaper, a sheet, in an attic, in view of an open window on an impassive river, at a flowery table, around two o'clock in the morning, in a low voice, in memory of the companions of the Pleiad. There are three movements: draft, erasures, and post Scriptum. This work also uses sound samples and recorded sound to allow for the poem to reach full expression and character.

Description: The "Mystery'" sonatas for scordato violin and continuo by H. I. F. Biber (1644-1704) had been largely ignored until 1905, when they were included in the collection of Austrian masterpieces, Denkmäler der Tonkunst der 0sterreich. Even then, they were the cause of some confusion which was later corrected in an addenda to the volume which included this series of sonatas.
