THE BEAUTIFUL SCHIZOPHONIC — Musicamorosa
More Info
"Im Schatten blhen junge Mdchen pink? Jorge Mantas jedenfalls lie sich durch Proust inspirieren, untermischt mit von Tristesse und Abschied geprgten Liebesgeschichten von Poe bis Wong Kar-Wai, Mdchenbildern von Waterhouse und Rosetti bis Rohmer und Deville, aber auch den Erotika-Ikonen der Fotografen Guido Argentini und Roy Stuart. Mein erster Eindruck - Bilitis - war also gar nicht so abwegig. Ein Computermnch trumt von Sensuality & Sadness und schon treibt Sublimation delikate Blten. Gefhlskitsch bekommt im Halbschatten einer knstlerischen Sensibilitt gleich etwas Sublimes. Musik als Geliebte, umsponnen von einer Delectatio morosa, der Lust an sndigen Vorstellungen? Fast alle Titel stammen aus Prousts Die Gefangene. Colleen spielt dazu La Lectrice und alles wird gleich Pariserisch. Nicht Lukas, der Hl. Antonius ist der Schutzpatron der Knstler. Das ist nicht halb so sarkastisch, wie Dionysius als Nothelfer gegen Kopfschmerzen. Ich schwanke, whrend Mantas mollige Drones mich umschweifen und verfhrerisch ihre Gestalt wechseln, zwischen Kopfzerbrechen und Gedankenverbrechen - wie denn auch anders, wenn eine Musik gleichzeitig so schn, fatal und schizophon daher
kommt. Ach wie so schwelgerisch ffnet der Laptop seine Speicher, auf deren Grund man auf Wagners Liebestod und Debussy stoen wrde. Was gerade noch knirschte wie Sand oder schumte wie die Brandung um Aphrodites Knchel, ist nun blinkende Gitarre, dann wieder eingedampftes orchestrales Rauschen. Als Encore folgt ein ausfhrlicher Remix durch @c, schnffelnd wie eine Maus, die rosige Nackedeis wittert." [Bad Alchemy]
"Marcel Proust has been one of the main sources of inspiration to me in the last years. His ideas devoted to the affections of the human heart, his approach deeply rooted on the long literary French tradition in which love can only be lived in sadness, is something that goes much beyond pure aesthetic. So it came only natural that somehow I would try to convey this literary and philosophic interest with the sound aesthetic I pursue. The image of a sleepless solitary writer confined to a Parisian soundproof room, has everything to do with the experience of a modern laptop composer, alone in the dark of a room, in a sort of headphone ecstasy with his acoustic fragments of reality. Both experience loneliness. Both are melancholic dreamers creating from an imaginary memory of the world. Whether this music is truly related with some of the delicate emotions depicted in A la recherche du temps perdu or not, it's up to the listener to decide. Could this be a possible sound equivalent to the literary images of affection written by Proust in the early 20th century? Is the sound atmosphere of each piece loaded with some kind of sensual aura? Would ever be possible to express a sadness full of joy in the same moment of music? Probably we'll never know. But perhaps we think about it next time we'll listen to musicamorosa." [Jorge Mantas]
