 Violin
samples kindly provided by Alexander Balanescu
Recorded and mixed at Ambaradan by Sergio Messina, 2000
In 2000 I was lucky enough to be part of the Klangpark team in
Linz, Austria.The Klangpark is a sonic tour de force assembled
every year by the fabulous Ars Electronica crew: an immense audio
installation (4 huge speakers on cranes) where a group of people
play live 24/7 for the whole festival. That year the team was
led by the one and only Alexander Balanescu, and included Rupert
Huber, Sigfried Ganhör, Isabella Bordoni, To Rococo Rot and myself.
It was fun, and it's documented on an album, Lume
Lume, out on Staubgold.
In order to prepare this gig, Alexander burned 2 CDs for us. One
with the songs of Maria
Tanase (that inspired us throughout the project), and another
of violin bits, melodies and sounds for us to sample. It's exactly
what I did for this piece, that I played live but that didn't end
up on the album (which is mostly made from our improvisations).
It was also still untitled.
Then, last may (2009), I made a
little video on Redoutè's
beautiful roses paintings, and I synchronized it with a shorter
version of this tune - hence the title. |
