Earth Encomium with Nothingness is Unstable

from live ateliers claus by David Rosenboom

/

about

(Yamaha DisklavierTM piano, computer-electronics, field recordings)
Nothingness usually collapses into something-ness—the phenomenal particularities of experience. Musical particularities—musics of many nows containing fine structures with created pasts and futures—also spring from initially undefined singularities of experience into multiple dimensions of mutual interactivity. This immersive musical wrapping is dedicated to our stressed planet.

Two compositions are combined here in an integrated form. They are linked together with a system of harmonic orbits. These orbits can be heard in ever-descending spirals within spirals that create multi-dimensional harmonic loops. Perhaps mixed feelings of homage, pathos and inevitability somehow reside inside these descending loops. In Earth Encomium, the loops are interpreted in a solo for piano and electronics. The piano’s raw acoustic sound is parsed into specific spectral elements, which in turn ring a bank of complex digital resonators that are also tuned to harmonic orbits. In Nothingness is Unstable, delicate natural sounds collected in field recordings made in Indonesia and the US activate the same banks of complex digital resonator circuits. Eventually, more intertwining harmonic orbits are blended in with a Yamaha DisklavierTM piano to play chords exceeding what can be performed with two human hands.
