Acousma Light

Album LT 2018 on Gk Rec. label
Electronic (Abstract, Experimental, Musique Concrète)

Limited to 300 copies. Supported by Asociacija Latga and Lietuvos Kulturos Taryba. Album title Acousma Light refers to Acousmatic music in which a sound source isn't visible during the concert or listening session. In 1955 a pioneer of musique concrète, French composer Pierre Schaeffer coined a term acousmatique, derived from the Greek word akousmatikoi (the hearers). The latter was used by Pythagoras to describe uninitiated disciples. According historical sources, the aspirants had to follow a vow of silence for five years while listening to the teachings of the master behind a screen (a curtain), without seeing him. In a composition Acousma Light sound components are being grained into sonic particles - as elemental as possible. The sound of the piece may be described in such characteristics as timbre, spectrum of sound, varying and changing speed of motion. In the first stage of composition, in which a recording of live performance takes place, a principle of sound deconstruction is being employed. Recorded material is then being organized into a structure that gradually evolves into a crystallized form. Nine episodes are presented in the Album. Total time 71:58 Cover image represents balancing stones from inner ear. They are attached to sensory hair. When the head tilts, the movement of stones causes nerve impulses that originate into a sense of balance. „Kūrinio pavadinimas „Acousma Light” nurodo į muzikos terminą „akusmatinė muzika”, kuris gyvam muzikos atlikimui priešpastato muzikos klausymą nematant garso šaltinio ir muzikai, kuri užrašyta natomis, priešpastato kūrinius, kurie egzistuoja tik garso pavidalu. 1955-aisiais metais konkrečiosios muzikos pradininkas prancūzų kompozitorius Pierre'as Schaeffer'is ėmė naudoti terminą acousmatique, kurį kildino iš žodžio akousmatikoi (girdėtojai), kuriuo Pitagoras vadino neinicijuotus mokinius. Pagal istorinius šaltinius, prieš tapdami inicijuotais Pitagoro mokiniais, pretendentai privalėjo 5 metus laikytis tylos įžadų, klausydami mokytojo mokymų iš už širmos, jo nematydami. Kūrinys sukurtas 2017 metais kompiuteriu. Kompozicijoje garso komponentai smulkinami į kiek įmanoma mažesnes garsines dalelytes. Kūrinyje vengiama tiesioginių įprastų melodinių linijų, harmonijos, ritmo, metro. Albumo skambesys grįstas tokiomis garsinėmis charakteristikomis kaip tembras, garso spektras ir kintantis garso judėjimo greitis. Albumas grįstas garso dekonstrukcija pradinėje gyvo įgrojimo stadijoje, o po to įrašytos medžiagos kristalizavimu į struktūrą. Albumą sudaro 9 epizodai viso trunkantys 72 minutes.
