TIEMF 2019 – Composition Master Class … via Skype

Despite the recent denial of entry visa to Iran, that has almost jeopardized the whole Tehran International Electronic Music Festival, all of us — Joachim Heintz, Eva Zöllner, Verena Wuesthoff, Ulrike Brand, and I — were able to do our presentations, seminars, and master classes via skype. It was far from an ideal solution and it was uncomfortable to feel the imposed distance. But it was something …

The photo below is taken at the end of the skype session of my composition master class with the winners and selected composers of the Reza Korourian Composition Competition.

 

 

 

 

 

Iran Bars International Musicians From IRIB Sponsored Festival

Iran did not allow foreign participants and guests to attend an electronic music festival, according to the official in charge of organizing the event in late July.

Speaking to the state-run Iran Labor News Agency (ILNA), Mehdi Jalali said, “For the first time, our prominent foreign guests, including Joachim Heintz (German composer), Dimitri Papageorgiou (Greek composer), Ulrike Brand (German cellist), and Eva Zollner (German accordionist) were denied entry visas.”

Presentation at Bilgi University Istanbul: “The reconstructive nature of memory as a compositional model”

The Reconstructive Nature of Memory as a Compositional Model | Bilgi University, Istanbul | E2-201 | April 24th, 2019 | 15:00 – 18:00

My music is, among other things, a continuous negotiation of the distinction between the self and the other and the fluidity of their relationship.

The core of my work revolves around specific themes: time, identity/similarity/difference, repetition, memory, and order — the fragility of order in the creative process.

The concept of memory, in particular – the way we consider the or our past – is perceived not as a repetition or nostalgic recollection. Quite on the contrary, memory is regarded for its creative dimension, that is, as a constantly updated reconstruction of the past from the point of view of the present and through a process of constant reformulation.

All musical ideas are imperfect and vulnerable, ephemeral and distorted. They are constantly in a flowing state and are constantly being revised.

Nothing repeats itself!

Airborne Extended premiere “She sees by formless gleams”

Ensemble Airborne Extended | Parallel Textures | Contemporary Music Lab of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki | Thessaloniki State Orchestra Rehearsal Space | Wed April 10th, 2019 | 20:30 

The exceptional Austrian ensemble Airborne Extended premiers my work “She sees by formless gleams…” for bass flute, great bass recorder (paetzold), and harp.

Ensemble airborne extended was founded in 2013 and is a female Quartett for contemporary music consisting of the instruments harp, harpsichord/keyboard, flutes, recorders/Paetzoldflutes, with and without electronics and performance. The unusual combination of these instruments is the starting point for a sensitive and nuanced search for unknown tonal combinations. Many of the tones evoke associations to earlier eras. The group’s effort to pry the instruments away from their bourgeois context and to use them in a contemporary fashion is a referential experience.

Sonja Leipold – harpsichord/keyboard
Caroline Mayrhofer – recorders/Paetzold
Elena Gabbrielli – flutes
Tina Žerdin – harp

I was glad to be among the special guests of Diffrazioni – Florence Multimedia Festival (http://www.diffrazionifestival.com/nuova-pagina), “a project dedicated to contemporary art exploring the boundaries between technology and poetic expression, where new tools, new scenarios and deep inner emotions meet and combine.” 

The European premiere of my work “Am I hearing voices within the voice?” took place on Thursday, March 28th, 2019 at the magnificent Le Murate Progeti Arte Contemporanea.

This festival is an opportunity for connection, celebration, knowledge, development. It is a physical space and a short moment in time where multiple experiences converge, each one originating from different research fields in science, technology, art, expression, communication. Diffrazioni bases its strength on a system of synergies between institutions of higher artistic education, public administrations, young artists, cultural associations and non-profit organizations.

My activities at TIEMF entailed among others following:

September 2nd 2018, Hanooz Bookstore

Lecture

Artificial voice. A brief history of speech synthesis: from talking heads to talking machines. 

In this talk, I present an overview of speech synthesis. The idea that a machine can generate speech disappears in the depths of history, but only recently has man been able to construct speaking devices with success. The narration of this history starts from simple hoaxes (antiquity to 17th c.) and moves on to mechanical approaches (18th c. to 19th c.) with more emphasis to electronic and digital approaches of the modern era (20th c. to present).

Sep 5th, Tehran University, School of Music

10:00 – 12:00 “Composing Seminar”: The Reconstructive Nature of Memory as a Compositional Model. Aesthetic Approach and Algorithmic implementations.

Memory and identity. Variance and invariance. Iteration and evolution. The opposition between unity and multiplicity, in terms of the ”dialectic of the repeated and the non- repeated.“ The present seminar outlines my views on compositional process technique in theory and in practice. At rst, I present a framework of a compositional methodology based on the reconstructive nature of memory, as a metaphor for the construction of pitch complexes and their dynamic and evolving elaboration in my music by means of algorithmic manipulations. In the second part, I present an introductory demonstration of some algorithmic routines of my interlocking technique.

12:00 – 15:00 Composing Master Class

With students of the M.A. Program in Composition of the Composition Area of the Tehran University Department of Music Studies

Sep 8th 2018, Tehran University, Avini Hall

Premiere of my work

“… am I hearing voices within the voice?” (2018) for fixed medium

was composed in more voices and vocal manifestations from samples of principally non-verbal vocalizations, reconstructed by fragmenting, overlaying and ltering the vocal timbres, to accommodate my own requirements
During the composition process, I was more interested into the subtleties of spoken sound when speech is deprived of meaning, the subtle pauses, speech cadences, evolving dynamics, the stumbles, the stammers, the um’s, and ah’s, the speeding up and slowing down.

“…risuona più lontano che mai” – premiere recording in Italy

Ensemble Suono Giallo, Il Suono Music Week 2018

“…risuona più lontano che mai”  (2018) for flute, saxophone, piano, and percussion. Commissioned by ilSUONO Contemporary Music Week 2018 for ensemble Il Suono Giallo.

Performed by Ensemble Suono Giallo, Italy: Andrea Biagini, flute; Michele Bianchini, saxophone; Laura Mancini, percussion; Simone Nocchi, piano

Program Notes

“…risuona piu lontano che mai” is a work shaped and, at the same time, fractured by the brevity of its mnemonic fragments, which reappear in manifold and often distressing reocurrences and insistent retrospections through a series of regenerations and rearrangements of the material. Echoing the strangeness of an indescribable sound, these mnemonic fragments are advancing and regressing non-linearly, in stumbles and stutters, uncertainties and hesitations. They are treated as, what Deleuze (and Guattari would call, blocks of becomings in contemplative and non-hierarchical dialogues with one another. As something happening in the process, in intimate intimacy.

“A becoming is always in the middle; one can only get it by the middle. A becoming is neither one, or two, nor the relation of the two; it is the in-between, the borderline or line of flight… If becoming is a block (a line-block), it is because it constitutes a zone of proximity and indiscernability, a no-man’s land, a non-localizable relation sweeping up the two distant or contiguous points, carrying one into the proximity of the other – and the border-proximity is indifferent to both contiguity and to distance.” Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus. Capitalism and Schizophrenia, trans. Brian Massumi (Continuum, London and New York, 2003), p. 293.

Labor Beethoven 2020 meets Preisträger-Akademie

The Laboratory Beethoven 2020 is a project of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, and is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media from the project BTHVN2020. For three years, nine young composers have the freedom to develop and realize their vision of new music. The Summer Music Days are the ideal platform for their first concert project.

In March 2018, the Beethoven laboratory team will meet the freshly awarded winners of the German Music Competition. Out of the spirit of their partnership, they create short works and installations. The opening on July 28 will feature an installation by Eva Gentner and Adrian Nagel from the border area between sound and image. In the following days, premieres of short solo and chamber pieces enrich the festival program.

In cooperation with the Akademie der Künste, Berlin

The three teams:

Basel

• Anda Kryezu
• Adrian Nagel
• Eleni Ralli
• Mentor Caspar Johannes Walter

Tel Aviv

• Ari Rabenu
• Guy Rauscher
• Akkad Izreel
• Mentor Ruben Seroussi

Thessaloniki

• Faidra Chafta Douka
• Manolis Ekmektsoglou
• Thanos Sakellaridis
• Mentor Dimitri Papageorgiou

The Sommerliche Musiktage Hitzacker are Germany’s oldest chamber music festival and at the same time one of the most innovative. They see themselves as a festival of discoveries – from charming concert formats, engaging programs, unusual venues and international artist personalities.

About
This initiative investigates new ideas in the field of sound, visual and performance art. Off borders festival, intends to provoke conversations into the intercultural coexistence among the dipole artists & audience.

Wondering where the periphery starts and where the center, strong proponent of DIY culture (do it yourself), we aspire to create another node in the world DIY network and develop communication channels having intercultural exchange as their main goal.

Our goal is the integration of the periphery into within the internationalization process of contemporary art. Sounds, Pictures and Movements create a meeting point in Greece, disseminating frequencies across Europe and nearby countries.

Bridging the gap

GREECE-IRAN-GERMANY

The off borders Festival wants to establish itself as an out of bounds 2 day event at the city of Thessaloniki. This year we aim to artists from Iran, Germany and Greece, whose works focus on investigating new ideas, consider risk as an inherent aspect of their work. Unlike other festivals, off borders is particularly interested of participants-driven projects focusing at the fields of:
Electronic Music/Sound Art
Video Art
Performance Art

A critique of Iwona Glinka’s: “One Minute” by Piotr Grella-Możejko

Iwona Glinka, One minute

A nice critique about Iwona Glinka’s CD One Minute by Piotr Grella-Możejko, that mentions my Etude in Quarter Tones

… Two compositions played superbly on the bass flute, i.e. “Path” by Rania Chrisostomou (Cyprus) and “Catharsis” by Héctor Oltra Garcia (Spain), as well as “Kekkai” by Nicolas Marty (France), “The Clown” by Michail Travlos (Greece; the title is misleading – the music is actually quite good), “Etude In Quarter Tones” for piccolo flute by Dimitri Papageorgiou (Greece), and the remarkable “Concert Etude”, also for the piccolo, by Paweł Siek (Poland; again, the title turned me off, but the music did exactly the opposite) all stand out as examples of very well written mini-pieces aptly projecting the composers’ individual “voices” really worth exploring further.

“In Pulses, in Strokes…” @ Bowling Green State University (video)

Tags

bgsu college of musical arts, BGSU New Music Ensemble, Mercedes Diaz Garcia

“In Pulses, in Strokes…” (2011) for flute, bass clarinet, violin, cello, percussion, and piano. Performance on Thursday, March 2nd 2017, Kobacker Hall, at Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, Ohio, U.S.A.

BGSU New Music Ensemble. Maria Mercedes Diaz Garcia — conductor.

Program Notes

The title of the work is derived from a reply (dated “Grand Hotel, Rome, 4, I, 1941”) by George Santayana to a letter by Ezra Pound (reproduced in Machine Art and Other Writings):

Existence comes in pulses, in strokes. I see no reason for not stopping, or for stropping, anywhere in that flux. Existence has as many centres as it happens to have, as many moments, feelings, assumptions, questions—all in the air and with no power over one another. But if we have time and patience to study a natural world posited as the source and common continuum in all this existence, we assume that it has dynamic unity: otherwise from one point in it we could never justly infer or posit any other point in it. This is my argument for materialism. — GS

from The Letters of George Santayana: 1941-1947

Lecture: The Interlocking Technique and the Reconstructive Nature of Memory

Delian Academy for New Music | Thursday, 15 June 2017 | 19:00 | Grypario Cultural Center, Mykonos, Greece

My Lecture at the Delian Academy for New Music

Abstract

Memory and identity. Variance and invariance. Iteration and evolution. The present lecture is an introduction to the exploration of the reconstructive nature of memory as a metaphor for the construction of pitch complexes and their dynamic and evolving elaboration in my music. For that purpose, I have invented an interlocking technique, which is a systematic transformation plan that takes some raw material and creates structurally and aurally similar pitch arrays by means of algorithmic manipulations

Delian Academy for New Music

This June, together with my friend Panayiotis Kokoras, I will be serving as faculty member of the Delian Academy for New Music (artistic director: Alexandros Spyrou), an international summer academy for composers and sound artists located on the island of Mykonos, Greece. We will be collaborating with the ensemble Oerknal, a collective of young professional musicians based in The Netherlands. Selected composers can submit a new or existing piece to be performed in Grypario Concert Hall in Mykonos.

Curated under the auspices of Georges Aperghis and the Grypario Cultural Center, the Academy derives its name from the nearby island of Delos, the birthplace of god Apollo, and an UNESCO world heritage site. 

Unlike top-down organization programs, our Academy is a participant-driven meeting where attendees co-decide and create the agenda for a series of symposia, workshops, and concerts with the guidance of faculty and staff. 

The 2017 edition will take place from June 12 to June 19 in Grypario Cultural Center of Mykonos. Participating composers will have the chance to take part in masterclasses, presentations, workshops and have their music performed by our ensemble in residence. The main language of the Academy will be English. Additional languages may be used in private masterclasses.

Concerto Competition @BGSU

Saturday, December 10, 2016 | Bowling Green University, Ohio | Kobacker Hall

Adjudication of the Final Round of our 50th Annual Competition in Composition and Music Performance of the College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green University, Ohio.

A panel of five judges from outside BGSU sat in the center of the hall. Maybe a few more people, friends and fellow musicians, sat toward the back. The stage was starkly lit, and the only company performers had on stage was an accompanist and maybe a page turner for the accompanist.

The performers themselves had no pages to turn, no sheets of music to hide behind. They and their practicing over the past few months stood exposed.

Every year for the last 50 years, Bowling Green State University undergraduate and graduate students have stepped forward to exhibit their musical mastery.

Judges:

• Dr. William King, clarinet (UM, MOT)
• Dr. Melissa Gerber Knecht, violin (Hillsdale)
• Dr. Anthony Weikel, trombone (OSU DMA, Springfield Symphony)
• Dr. Brad Blackham, piano (Hillsdale)
• Dr. Minnita Daniel-Cox, soprano (U Dayton)
• Dr. Dimitri Papageorgiou, compositon (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece)

Congratulations to the winners of the 50th Competition in Music Performance!

• COMPOSITION division: Daniel Bayot, “The Philosophy of Wood”
• UNDERGRADUATE division: Stephen Dubetz, clarinet; Michelle Whitmore, flute; honorable mention, Samantha Tartamella, flute
• GRADUATE division: Kenneth Cox, flute; Peisi Luo, piano; honorable mention, Aldulfulyne Padmore, flute
• Virginia Marks Collaborative Pianist Award winner: Jonathan Brian Guelfand

The four competition winners will perform their pieces with the Bowling Green Philharmonia at a Feb 25 concert in Kobacker.
