DI SCIPIO, AGOSTINO — Hrbare kosysteme
More Info
" Das komplexe Gefge von Einflssen, denen Schall auf seinem Weg von der Quelle zum Ohr unterworfen ist (...) ist das Aktionsfeld der Musik von Agostino Di Scipio. (Linernotes) Seine Kompositionen entstehen auf der Basis sich selbst steuernder und regulierender Systeme. In den live-elektronischen Studien Hrbare kosysteme dienen einfachste Schallsignale oder gar nur der Geruschhintergrund des die Mikrophone beherbergenden Raumes als Input fr autopoietische Prozesse, in deren Verlauf die Parameter der digitalen Signalverarbeitung sich stets weiter den resultierenden Klangformen anpassen (...). Zwischen knisternden Inseln Ryoji Ikedaischer Digitalsounds entstehen punktuell oder flieend gesetzte Rckkopplungen, die kontrolliert tastenden Erkundungen der Klangmglichkeiten durchfhren. Ebenso arbeiten die Interpreten in den gemischt Instrumental/live-elektronischen Stcken. Sie lauschen ihren, von der Elektronik zurckgeworfenen Klngen und passen ihr weiteres Spiel den vernderten Sounds an. In steter Umarmung mit der signalverarbeitenden Software und in Abhngigkeit vom Raumverhalten setzen Bassflte, Bassklarinette, Violine, Violoncello, Klavier und Vibraphon forschende Instrumentalbewegungen, welche die Konzentration der Zuhrerin/ des Zuhrers reichlich belohnen.
Sounds making ist way from the source to the ear is subjected to a complex nexus of influences. This is the operation field for the music of Agostino Di Scipio. (linernotes) His compositions are built up on the basis of complicated cybernetic procedures. The newer studies Hrbare kosysteme are purely live-electronic. In these works the most simple sound signals, or even the background noise of the space housing the microphones, provide input for autopoetic processes which continously adjust the parameters of their digital sound synthesis and transforming processes to the resulting sound shapes. Between crackling islands of Ryoji Ikeda-like digital sounds you hear particular pointed or flowing feedbacks carrying out the possibilities of sound in a controlled tentativ research. Also the players of the combined instrumental/ live-electronic pieces are working in this way. Listening very closely to the transformed sounds resounding from back from the sound system, they adjust their actual sound production to those transformations. Caught up in the system of sound processing software and the spaces aural signature, bass flute, bass clarinet, violin, cello, piano and vibraphone searchable put together instrumental movements which amply reward the listeners concentration.
