Fiato continuo
Product Details
Description
potential.
The composer Bojidar Spassov (born 1949 in Sofia/Bulgaria) utilises in his cycle "Fiato continuo" for brass, woodwind and tape folkloristic instruments, intonation, rhythms and melodies to a certain extend as sound library. Out of this pool and with the addition of electro-acoustic tapes he generates completely new sound qualities, which in the end relate just as little to the material innovating New Music as to their folkloristic origin. In a lexical meaning it is free floating auras which encounter each other within the same time period and enter into a concert situation with each other and commensurate.
In the five pieces Spassov equipoises the acting subject, the instrumental soloist and the composer who applies game theory with electro-acoustic means. Freed by electronic sounds of all heaviness and possibly also of all philosophic and historical pains, Spassov’s music, often intonated at extremely high pitch, gives account of the very archaism, the very pre-cultural state of music for which immediacy contemporary instrumental and electronic composers struggle again and again.

In the edition ZKM electronic, the ZKM | Institut für Musik und Akustik (IMA) currently releases productions on the label WERGO which are based on electronic media and which, in the broadest sense, can be described as electro-acoustic compositions. Guest artists from all over the world are invited to work in the music studios to realize specific projects. The productions, ranging from digital synthesis and algorithmic composition to the integration of live electronics, from radio art to sound installation, encompass a broad spectrum of that locus where digital technology stimulates musical fantasy. More information on the ZKM you can find here.
The productions highlight current works of contemporary composers and musicians which are characterized by technological and aesthetic developments, while sometimes crossing the lines of the auditory by means of visualizations or multimedia concepts. Even in the field of audio productions, new territory is entered with 5.1 panoramas, for example, in order to depict the often three-dimensional compositions in an adequate manner. The aim is to spread the electro-acoustic music and sustain its release.
Starting in 2011, the label ZKM milestones releases selected works of contemporary music which, with regard to aesthetics, play a special role in recent music history and the academic examination and publication of which contribute to a better understanding of the cultural landscape.
