A recording of a live improvisation captured during a nighttime concert in Portugal at an ancient stone lagare — an olive press dating back some 400 years, surrounded by hills and pine trees. The musical material unfolds on the border between spatial noise and a clear, almost chamber-like musicality.
A recording of a live improvisation captured during a nighttime concert in Portugal at an ancient stone lagare — an olive press dating back some 400 years, surrounded by hills and pine trees.
The musical material unfolds on the border between spatial noise and clear, almost chamber-like musicality.
In this process, there is no clear boundary between acoustic and electronic, controlled and random, but only a striving, in a state of inner freedom, without expectations or pressure for a result, to be attentive to musical integrity in this very moment.
The musicians moved freely between instruments and electronic devices: the recording features an acoustic piano with a felt-lined soundboard (an instrument that was miraculously procured for the concert from a local music studio), a flugelhorn, two violins, as well as electronic layers interwoven with echoes of radio stations picked up in real time: communications from Tokyo airport dispatchers, radio static, and fragments of chorales.
