QUI?
Joan Bagés Rubi
Seres cobardes: “No desitjo un estat a ningú” (2018)
für Flöte, Violoncello, Klavier, Live-Elektronik und Video DE
"Über
den inneren Kampf, der nötig ist, um sich von den Gedanken und
Vorurteilen zu befreien, die im eigenen Innern, im Kopf eingebettet
sind."
Joan Bagés Rubi, born 1977 in Lleida – Flix/Barcelona/Paris - composer, sound artist and pianist. His
sound work focuses on instrumental music, electroacoustic music, sound
installations and interactive musical systems. Far from addressing these
creative facets as independent elements, his work traces a continuum
based on the creation of networks between these disciplines. What
unifies his creative work is the permanent research in what he calls the
«Spectrum-morphological composition by differentiated layers in a
holophonic creation frame». At the same time, he draws graphic notation
systems derived from conventional notation, uses and creates interactive
musical systems , and has developed the concept of "sound score".

Qui (2018)
für Flöte, Violoncello und Klavier DE
Das
Werk Qui dreht sich um das Thema der Rolle oder Rollen, die die Musiker
bzw. die Instrumente bei der Interpretation spielen oder spielen
können. Im Laufe des Stückes werden die Musiker ihre eigenen Instrumente
aber auch die von den anderen spielen. So werden alle drei Musiker am
Klavier und am Cello spielen müssen.
Ein
Aspekt in meiner gegenwärtigen kompositorischen Arbeit ist die Funktion
der Instrumentalisten und ihre Rolle im Werk selbst zu untersuchen: ich
lasse die Musiker sprechen, singen, ihre Instrumente auch in
unkonventioneller Weise spielen, andere Instrumente spielen,… In der
Suche lasse ich momentan und ganz bewusst die szenischen, theatralischen
Möglichkeiten zur Seite und konzentriere mich gezielt auf die
klangliche Ebene. Das heißt aber nicht, dass diese Suche keine
theatralische Komponente berücksichtigt, denn jede Änderung der
Instrumentalistenrolle auf der Bühne wirkt teatralisch in
unterschiedlichen Gradierungen –es gibt z.B. eine spezifische
Inszenierung wenn ein Pianist, ein Flötist und ein Cellist gleichzeitig
am Cello herumspielen.
In
Bezug auf den Klang erforsche ich nach wie vor die Möglichkeiten der
Vibration (Schwingung) als Klangfarbenschwingung (u.a. bisbigliando,
halbflageolett/flageolett) und als Tonhöhenänderungen (u.a. Triller,
Glissandi, Tremolo).

Fata morgana (2018)
für Flöte, Violoncello, Klavier, Oszillatoren und Tape DE
A
Fata Morgana is a complex form of superior mirage that is seen in a
narrow band right above the horizon. As it comes from its name, this
piece is a psycho-acoustical illusion for the ears.
Through
the formation of piece I have attempted to make the illusion on
repetition of the acoustic elements. They seem to sound exactly the
same, but they are never the same as they appear to ear.

Haris Kittos
IAMA (2017)
für Flöte, Violoncello und Klavier DE
Ìama
focuses on the idea of intimacy and on how it can derive from the
combination of common personal and musical experiences, while it evolves
to a therapeutic/functional ‘mechanism’ through sharing. The piece is
put together with musical ideas and material that do not carry a need
for dramatic narrative, virtuosic developments, use of extended
techniques etc. Simply, the flute and cello ‘share’ two notes which are
in stasis and a wide distance between them. From these, the lower note
begins to move and slightly ‘push’ upwards while, at the same time,
there is a calm ‘swapping’ of notes between the two instruments. The
result is a double melodic line which is gradually both ascending and
narrowing, but very slowly and unevenly. While this takes place, the
piano remains almost in its own ‘world’, with repetitive micro-gestures
in the extremes of its register and in great distance from the flute and
cello. This contains an obsessive and even annoying at times character
but, on the other hand, it creates a stable point of reference for the
other two instruments which, alongside with their own relationship,
react to the playful piano sounds.
