Hortulus Animae

Hortulus Animae (2018)
für Flöte und Tape DE
This piece outlines philosopher Michel Serre’s reinvigoration of the Orpheus myth in his book Musique.
I read Serre’s engagement with the Orpheus myth as an outlining of two
distinct registers. On the one hand, Serres articulates sound with such
distinctive metaphors that make the reader reassess what sound, and by
association, music is. On the other, that in doing so, Serres’s engages
with a subtle declassification of the conception of a composer. In
Serres’s account, Orpheus is not capable of manipulating sound with the
superhuman musicianship of Orpheus, but rather here he is a musician in a
constant apprenticeship with sound.
“ Il
chercha, peu a peu, avant d’entrer en langue, à écouter, en
silence....du corps propre, les sons rauques de sa glotte, les
battements de son coeur, le rythme et le tempo de son pouls, ceux de sa
respiration, ainsi que les acouphènes, bourdonnements et tintements
insensés de l’oreille”
“He
sought, little by little, before entering into the language, to listen,
in silence ... his own body, the hoarse sounds of his glottis, the
beating of his heart, the rhythm and tempo of his pulse, those of his
breathing, as well as the maddening buzzing, ringing and chiming of the
ear " (Serres, 2011, p 11)

Tristan Rhys Williams
Piece for solo alto flute with tape (2019) DE
"Nothing
more lacerating than a voice at once beloved and exhausted: a broken,
rarefied, bloodless voice, one might say, a voice from the end of the
world, which will be swallowed up far away by cold depths: such a voice
is about to vanish, as the exhausted being is about to die: fatigue is
infinity: what never manages to end. That brief, momentary voice, almost
ungracious in its rarity, that almost nothing of the loved and distant
voice, becomes in me a sort of monstrous cork, as if a surgeon were
thrusting a huge plug of wadding into my head."
Roland Barthes: A Love’s Discourse (Translated by Richard Howard)

The
modes of playing in the work are distinctly part of Craig's technical
approach to the instrument. Alternating ingressive and egressive
resonance (sound via inhalation/exhalation), and microtonal multiphonics
with flexible voicings. In luminous, the natural aspects of these
materials are allowed to sound and expand as wholly as possible. In
sequence, they connect closely and form longer resonant threads. The
ingressive/egressive sound and multiphonic voices are extensions of the
breathing process. The form (approximating the Golden Section) and time
scale of the work are intentionally expansive. The first 13 minutes, or
so, rather than imagined as real time, suggest a moment that is
stretched out and prolonged, as an impression or as a loop in the
memory.
