What happened and what happens at every single moment punctuate each other… In reconstructions… Glimpses of the past are brought back to the flux of the present… Fragile interpolations enforce some semblance of unity… Until something, almost spontaneous, changes the way we orient to sound… On time… and beyond…

The work was commissioned by ensemble iiiiiiiii, Seongmin Ji – artistic director.

“…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.

Languages of the Unheard – performance in Tehran International Electronic Music Festival

18 Friday Feb 2022

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in Concerts, Festival

≈ Leave a comment

tiemf.com | 19 Feb 2022 | 21:30 Central European Time |

“Languages of the Unheard: at the opening concert of the Tehran International Electronic Music Festival, on February 19, 2022. The work will stay online until March 5th on the festival’s webpage (tiemf.com)
Languages of the Unheard, is an experiment of conversing in the language of protest, we created together with Danae Theodoridou for Freiraum Festival 2020. Languages of the Unheard was commissioned by the project “Common Lab”, a Goethe-Institut Excellency Initiative by Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki & ArtBOX, in collaboration with TIF- HELEXPO and Freiraum Festival 2020. Curated by Christos Savvidis.
Forever grateful to the lovely women, Maria Apostolakea, Marijana Cvetkovic, Ivana Filip, Elena Koukoli, Janeda Milo, Eleni Mylona, Stefanie Schweiger, Έλενα Σίγμα & Tina Yotopoulou, who inhabited our idea with such generosity and devotion!

Program notes

‘WHAT WE MUST SEE is that a riot is the language of the unheard.’, Martin Luther King

Following a performance score, i.e. a list of instructions similar to those of a board game, Languages of the Unheard construct an online visual and auditory manifesto based on the language of signs and slogans coming from important protests in different European countries from the creation of the European Economic Community (EEC) or ‘Common Market’ in 1957 to 2020.

Playing with the performativity of zoom’s feature to ‘rename’ ourselves, we will change constantly our names using the language of those signs, producing a written dialogue in the language of protest. During this dialogue, parts of our words will be audio processed and fed back into the dialogue in different ways, creating a soundscape of languages of the unheard.

This ‘silent’ conversation aims to reveal the materiality of the language of protest in order to create an embodied experience of its social force. What stays from our common fights in public space when we don’t have the proximity of our bodies? How can we turn immaterial language into a material ‘action’ in the way Arendt defined the term as the human ability to initiate something in public space that addresses the many without being able to control its outcome in advance?

“d’ogni luce muto…” performed by Panayiotis Demopoulos

18 Friday Feb 2022

Posted by Dimitri Papageorgiou in Concerts

≈ Leave a comment

Anaeresis Piano Composition Meeting | 19 Feb 2022 | 19:00 (Athens) | online presentations

Panayiotis Demopoulos is performing at the Anaeresis Piano Composition Meeting. Among the works is also my “d’ogni luce muto” (2003) a work for piano solo commissioned by SCI and ASCAP.

program:

  • G. Vogiatzis: Condolatory Bodies
  • B. Field: Fire
  • D. Papageorgiou: …d’ogni luce muto
  • P. Safar: Red tailed hawk
  • L. Sakellarides: Quiet mind
  • A. Rizzella: Il silenzio degli ignavi
  • N. Harizanos: Great expectations

“d’ogni luce muto…” consists of a limited number of brief chord progressions that are woven, rewoven, and occasionally juxtaposed to form longer static moments into the structure. The reduction of the sound elements, on the other hand, is intended to shift the listeners’ attention to the inner life of the piano – it’s resonance. So, the music exists rather in the space between the piano and the audience.

You can get the score at www.babelscores.com/en/catalog/inst…-ogne-luce-muto
