El tipo con la camiseta de Traummaschine, que mira como Jean-Hervé Peron le toca la flauta, es el amigo Ronny Waernes. Una de las más contundentes “noise minds” de Noruega y de toda Europa. Y será uno de los compositores de los que se interpretaran obras en este maravilloso festival de música espectral (el jueves 20).

El festival arranca el domingo 16 de noviembre en Bruselas, para continuar el lunes 17 en Mons, el jueves 20 en West Sussex, viernes 21 y sabado 22 Londres, para saltar a París para las fechas del lunes 23 , martes 24 y miercoles 25.

Para aquellos que se asomen a London a pasar el finde, los conciertos, al menos allí, son gratix…

Three new concerts in England, after a decade from the UK debute of
Iancu Dumitrescu Ana-Maria Avram, and their virtuoso ensemble HYPERION,
leading figures in the Eastern European school of modern classical music.

The Hyperion Ensemble was founded in 1976 by the composer Iancu
Dumitrescu. As a starting point, Hyperion explored possible connections
between the most archaic Romanian music – Byzantine music, folk music
collected by Bartok, etc. – and today’s avant-garde music. It is a
tradition of performance, of interpreting each new score as a
provocation of the spirit, and a quest for new domains of sound.
Aesthetically, at the heart of this work is the notion of spectrality as
it developed in the work of Dumitrescu, Avram and other Romanian
composers – that is: a specifically transformational spectrality, as
opposed to the structural spectrality of the French Itinéraire group.
Hyperion has performed all over Europe –and recently in United States,
and recorded numerous LPs and 24 compact discs.( Mode Records- New York)
* “The extraordinary and uncategoriseable Dumitrescu / Avram team.
Pursuing the intimate grain of sound through the directed inspiration of
performers who somehow produce music while uncovering it, escape control
by going through it. Movement and stillness. (…)”
Chris CUTLER ReRMegacorp – London
?
? * “Iancu DUMITRESCU and Ana-Maria AVRAM. They have become leading
figures in contemporary classical music, developing a musical language
that sweeps boldly from very small scale insect-like sounds to vast
noise laden soundscapes. In recent times they have attracted a lot of
attention from musicians outside of the classical field, as the music is
relevant to the post-ambient, post noise, post classical aesthetic which
is the sound of the moment. FORCED EXPOSURE – Boston
“.. Dumitrescu’s acousmatic compositions are restless, detailed forays
into the aesthetic of noise, dramatically penetrating the very fabric of
instruments and articulating entirely new sounds – by turns violent,
reflective, impassioned and eerily disarming.” London. Royal Festival
Hall, New Aura Series, LMC-BBC 3
* “. Dumitrescu’s music has a visceral, untidy force rare in classical
music – the textures of Xenakis pared of the later’s Beethovenian
ambition, made more focused and linear. Works also features three
compositions by Ana-Maria Avram, born in Bucharest in 1961. Wonderful to
hear music where textural innovations aren’t employed to color
pre-existing structures, but evolve form in process.(…) Seems like
these Romanians are engaged in a similar kind of sonic research to that
which resulted on the masterpieces of Giacinto Scelsi and Ennio
Morricone: collective endeavor, genuine “deep listening”. The results
are similarly overpowering, a million miles from the tooting
inconsequence or most of what passes for New Music in the classical
world.” Ben WATSON – “The WIRE”, London
? * “Although two of the most compelling and exciting living composers –
Josh Ronsen-Austin,Texas, USA
?? * “A thundering, urban edifice illuminated only by flying sparks and
reverberating with the hollow boom of deflected metal. But even the most
staggering constructions are put together brick by brick, or note by
note, and Dumitrescu pays great attention to detail, releasing vast
amounts of energy like a nuclear explosion from the tiniest components.”
ALVINNE PRITCHARD, BBC Radio 3, London
?
* “The music of Iancu Dumitrescu explores the ultimate sense of sound
guiding the listener through new spheres of sonic adventure, a kind of
cryptical music…” Robert ZANK – Edition RZ – Berlin
* “Iancu Dumitrescu, Romanian composer (Sibiu, 1944), the most famous
and audacious of the young school in his country, one of the undeniable
heads of the current “avant-garde”. He represents the “avant-garde”
without compromise, the power of invention, the experimental audacity, a
taste for intellectual speculation, an irresistible creative impetus,
rare at this level. He is the dominant personality of today’s music in
his country…” Alfred HOFFMAN – Bucharest
?
?
? * “For a music that uncompromisingly addresses the future, opening us
to an entirely new and unheard universe of sound, Iancu Dumitrescu’s art
is nonetheless grounded in tradition, and nourished on the fertile
resources of the Romanian land. He exemplarily embodies a school, unique
in the world, which has found in its own ancestral roots the means to go
forwards in the spirit of the utmost adventure..” Harry HALBREICH,
(Editions Salabert) – Paris
?
? * “…The music of Romania’s leading composer Iancu Dumitrescu is
spectral, electroacoustic, but above all it is a coherent totality
grounded in a different conception. Of all living composers, Dumitrescu
is the one who has most exploded sound. Dumitrescu’s work is a negation,
from the depths, of everything in contemporary music symptomatic of
distraction, of banalisation, and of a radical loss of purpose. His
music is not a new convolution in the knot of modern music, but an
unraveling of the curse. (…)”
