Abstract or Description:

This sound piece draws inspiration from telephony and wave transmission as a prompt to talk about circuits of communication, drones and a compositional approach to sustained notes, interference patterns, tuning and deep listening. Following on from a previous iteration of this project for telephone which included composers Pauline Oliveros and Laurie Spiegel, here Satz has invited composer Eliane Radigue to weave together long-term conversations and compositional relationships with harpist Rhodri Davies and violist Julia Eckhardt. Eliane Radigue (b 1932) is known for her minimal electronic drone compositions produced on a large modular synthesizer. Recorded during lockdown via telephone and skype calls, this piece addresses Radigue's shift from electronic music to the recent acoustic works she has devised since 2000, and the transmission of music via conversation, mental images, living scores: non-notational sound images. Structured as a dialogic composition, the piece both documents and enacts a conversation about transmission and the circuitry of musical communication.
