CORAL GROUPS by LIEVEN MARTENS

beautiful stuff again from this wizard... TIP!I. Coral Groups is a live concert piece for 32 channels with an undefined duration. Various found objects, electronics, piano vignettes and field recordings are put into relation with each other in an improvised way, creating a panorama that's both random and directional. Lieven presented this piece between early 2013 and spring 2016, in Finland, Sweden, Japan, Mexico, United States, Italy, Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, Belgium, among other. The excerpt here has been recorded close to the final performance of the piece, when things started to come together quite naturally. Recorded live at Gold+Beton Gallery, Köln, Germany, november 2015. II. Four Pages is a sonata. The seed of this work is a composition for piano notated on … four pages. Electronically transformed into particles in F-sharp Major, tucked between murmurous silences of a budget-friendly analog filter. Summer 2016.
