3 ORTE / 3 PLACES / 3 LUGARES / 3 MIEJSCA
(short description, edited by Austin Buckett)
The piece is for 3 different resonant spaces and a number of intrumentalists. The work is always site specific.
3 places (rooms, halls) in walking distance are chosen. The spaces shouln't be too small so they don't loose their resonant qualities when audience is in there. The places are analysed and measured acoustically. The measurements result in one microtonal scale for each of the 3 rooms indicating their main formants, a kind of a self-portrait of these places. The performance starts at one of these places where -for example- 5 instruments play these formants as sustained tones in a (more or less) free order. After - i.e.- 20 minutes both, players and audience, walk together to the second place. The walk is part of the piece. Here the instrumentalists play the formants of the second place, walk altogether to the third place, play and end.
Possible instruments are all instruments that can play sustained, microtonal pitches. Clarinets and/or Horns are especially welcome for this piece!
(From the score/foreword): Each of the three parts of 3 PLACES is exclusively composed for the given rooms and can be performed only there.
The room formants can be played (also sung) by one, more or many players. The score exists in different transpositions (in C, in Bb, in F) for different instruments.
The duration is free. But in the succession of all 3 places 20 minutes per place could be the right proportion.
The room formants are notated in ascending order. Every instrument chooses its playable range.
The way between places:
The walk between the 3 places is part of the piece. Musicians and Audience walk together. Therefore (for example) "3 Lugares Buenos Aires" is a piece in 5 parts:
1. instruments play formants of/in CONFITERIA MUNICH (Dirección General de Museos)
2. walk between DGM and barco
3. instruments play formants of/in BARCO GALILEO (actually a ship!)
4. walk between barco and Museo de Immigrantes
5. instruments play formants of/in HOTEL (Museo) DE IMMIGRANTES
