In the vestige of the present @museo interactivo de la música málaga

Taller de Música Contemporánea del C.S.M. Málaga | Carolina Cerezo Davila, conductor | museo interactivo de la música málaga | April 30, 2023 | 17:00

In the vestige of the present is a piece that I have heard many, many times in concerts. It is a very demanding work, especially for flute and cello, and so far it has been played by excellent professional musicians.

For the first time in Málaga, I will hear students playing this work. I am really impressed by these intrepid students of the Conservatorio Superior de Musica de Málaga, who under the direction of Carolina Cerezo Davila will give a very interesting concert at the museo interactivo de la música málaga.

On April 24th at 10:30 am, we will be kicking off a week-long residency with an artistic presentation at Sala da Cámara in Conservatorio Superior de Musica de Málaga.

The reconstructive nature of memory as a compositional model

This lecture discusses how the mnemonic system and more specifically ‘reconstructive memory’ (Bartlett, 1932) can be a radical model of the compositional process.

In this context, the lecture is an introduction to the key theoretical and practical aspects of the Interlocking Technique, which I have invented and modeled in order to explore the above proposal. This technique is both a) a genetic process, a systematic way of constructing fluorescent patterns based on some simple initial fluorescent data, and b) a reconstructive process, a way of transforming these patterns through the creation of structural homologies, by means of algorithmic manipulations.

The development of the technique was based, to a significant extent, on the study of memory theories in neuropsychology, psychology, sociology, criminology, etc. Scientific evidence supports the fact that memories are not exact records, but rather reconstructions of past events. Memory stores only fragments of the past that serve later to reconstruct past events. Thus, remembering the past is a subjective and sensitive process, and the recall of memory is open to inaccuracies, distortions, and distortions of the information conveyed with each recollection, as well as to various selective and processing procedures.

Consequently, reconstructive memory has a highly creative function. My study of it has led me to a different view of the concept of repetition, insofar as the recall of an event is not a faithful repetition but a (to a lesser or greater extent) creation of new content. ‘Reconstructive memory’ functions, ultimately, as a metaphor and analogy for the construction of new versions of pitch complexes through cycles of repetitive processes and their dynamic (continuous or non-continuous) reconstruction, processing, and reconstruction in my music through a technique of enveloping imperfections and distortions that each recall of the pattern carries within it.

ZEITSTRÖME FESTIVAL – Tage für aktuelle Musik – Oumuamua for kanun and string quartet

ZEITSTRÖME FESTIVAL – Tage für aktuelle Musik | SONAR QUARTETT / SOFIA LABROPOULOU – works for Kanun and string quartet | Akademie für Tonkunst, Darmstadt, Germany | Feb 11, 2023 | 19:00

The highly virtuosic Sonar Quartet and the Kanun player Sofia Labropoulou present works by Dimitri Papageorgiou and Stefan Pohlit, which were developed especially for these musicians. The Turkish zither meets the traditional string quartet and together they promise extraordinary and exciting sound experiences.

The Sonar Quartet’s composition commissions are funded by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The concert is sponsored by the German Music Council as part of the NEUSTART KULTUR program with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

Program

Dimitri Papageorgiou (*1965) Oumuamua for Kanun and string quartet

Stefan Pohlit (*1976) eyéo (Streichquartett #5) for Kanun and string quartet

IGNM Basel – Oumuamua for kanun and string quartet

09 Thursday Feb 2023

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in commission, Festival, Premiers

≈ Leave a comment

Feb 9th, 2023 | 20:00. ignm Basel "EYÉO - New transcultural music for kanun and string quartet", Gare du Nord, Basel, Switzerland. 

https://www.garedunord.ch/…/eyeo-neue-transkulturelle…

In collaboration with the Greek kanunist Sofia Labropoulou, the Sonar Quartet is developing new commissioned works by Dimitri Papageorgiou and Stefan Pohlit, as well as its own framework program that continues to spin the aesthetic directions of the compositions on the borders of improvisation. Against the background of the arithmetic tradition of the Aegean region, the focus is now on the development of a microtonal playing practice, on which the modern kanun (descendant of the Pythagorean monochord) is based.


With Sofia Labropoulou, the ensemble focuses on a personality who has translated the musical heritage of the European and Aegean musical traditions into a living practice. Papageorgiou’s and Pohlit’s completely different perspectives are flanked within the program by a separate improvisation laboratory, which transforms the purely subjective perspectives of the compositional styles in the mirror of the equally subjective “interaction culture” of the ensemble. The framework program is also based in parts on composed works of the Turkish makam tradition, which the ensemble arranges and alienates independently before becoming independent with the theoretical foundations of the arithmetic tradition.

With

Sonar Quartet: Susanne Zapf (violin), Wojciech Garbowski (violin), Ian Anderson (viola), Konstantin Manaev (cello); Sofia Labropoulou (kanun)

Program

Works by Stefan Pohlit and Dimitri Papageorgiou

Info

The concert will be recorded by SRF2 and broadcast on 15.2.

Duration

60 minutes, no break

“…am I hearing voices within the voice?” at inner sOUndscapes, Oklahoma

inner sOUndscapes

inner sOUndscapes | Pitman Recital Hall, Catlett Music Center | April 29, 2022 | 20:00

“…am I hearing voices within the voice?” will be performed at the University of Oklahoma School of Music within the concert series inner sOUndscapes, curated by professor Konstantinos Karathanasis.

The work  was composed in more voices and vocal manifestations from samples of principally non-verbal vocalizations, reconstructed by fragmenting, overlaying, and filtering the vocal timbres, to accommodate my own requirements

During the composition process, I was more interested in 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.

The program entails works by Andriotis, Daniels, Karathanasis, Papageorgiou, Tomlinson, and Vanderburg.
