in which the cake arrives, the champagne bottles are uncorked and ...
the (non)invited sing the obligate birthday song. Interestingly no one
refuses this on grounds that they have non-trained voices or cannot
remember the words too well. Also, notice this is really a
collaborative creation, and takes its aesthetical pleasures mostly from
the enthousiasme, spontaneity and ... dissonance of the expression (one
can argue the same for sport manifestations, protest marches, and even
church bells ringing). And what is a birthday without a song? I we come
together and celebrate, then let's sing! Together! For art's sake!

Z ich syntézy, spojenia sa rodí dráma, či hudobná dráma, ktorú vnímame takmer všetkými svojimi zmyslami. Vo svete drámy má každé umenie svoju úlohu. Herectvo predstavuje príbeh, výtvarné umenie zobrazuje scénu, literatúra je východiskom inscenácie, hudba vyjadruje vnútorný emotívny svet človeka. Pre drámu na javisku sú dôležité všetky umenia.

Intro hudba: Stephen L. Mosko: Indigenopus Music II: Flute (cca 1:00) Privítanie hosťa, špičkovej flautistky, interpretky súčasnej hudby a hudby 20. storočia, skladateľky a dirigentky, zakladajúcej členky The California EAR Unit, p. Dorothy Stone. D. Stone prišla na Slovensko na konci mája 2007 ako supervisor a hudobný producent nahrávania orchestrálnych diel svojho manžela Stephena Lucky Moskoa (1947-2005) Symfonickým orchestrom Slovenského rozhlasu. Využívame túto príležitosť, aby sme sa v rozhovore porozprávali o osobnosti S. L. Moskoa (SLM), jeho tvorbe ako aj ich vzájomnej spolupráci. 1. otázka: SLM v sebe komplementárne spájal povolania skladateľa – dirigenta – pedagóga (pôsobil viac ako 30 rokov California Institute of Arts ako profesor kompozície) s tým, že sa zaujímal nielen o novú „cageovskú“ paradigmu hudby 20. storočia, ale i prastarú hudbu Islandu, hudbu súvisiacu so súfizmom, starovekú čínsku operu i rumunskú cigánsku hudbu. Ako sa tieto jeho skúsenosti premietali do jeho prístupu komponovania? 2. skladba: Stephen L. Mosko: Native Songs and Dances (7:16) 2. otázka: SLM bol známy ako iniciátor vzniku Vášho súboru EARUNit r. 1981 a, mimochodom, aj priamou spoluprácou (tvorivou i organizačnou) s Johnom Cageom i Mortonom Feldmanom. S týmito velikánmi ho o. i. spájal hlboký rešpekt a úcta k interpretom ich hudby. Ako by ste popísali príbuznosti a zároveň odlišnosti hudby napr. Morton Feldmana a SLM? 3. skladba: Morton Feldman: Trio for Flutes (4:24) 3. otázka: Relácia Extempore Sat, 29 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0200 http://www.radioart.sk/avr/radiopage.php?id=136 - [PODCAST 1] : Jao Pedro Oliveira interview [30:00] min. - kind: RADIO program: EX TEMPORE title: Jao Pedro Oliveira interview on AIR: DEVIN 18.10.2006 (23:10-23:40) / Slovakradio author / editor: Juraj Ďuriš language: slovak. http://www.radioart.sk/avr/index4.php?img=4 http://www.radioart.sk/rss/.xml Jao Pedro Oliveira interview Omša h-moll J.

The mixing of the tape part was done in Protools. Artistic description: 'Aphâr is a Hebrew word that means "dust". This piece is inspired on the dream of Jacob, described in the Old Testament (Genesis Chapter 28): Jacob had a dream: He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens. The angels of God were going up and coming down it and the Lord stood at its top. He said, I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth. To climb Jacob's ladder is a very difficult process. Each step you take is harder than the previous one and takes more time and effort to accomplish. These steps are heavy, and the dust in your feet is spread around, and finally disappears. If you reach the top of the stair, everything else is gone, and a door closes to the rest of Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.radioart.sk/avr/audiopage.php?id=451 PRIZE WINNING COMPOSITIONS MUSICA NOVA 2007 Category A (compositions of autonomous art electroacoustic music) First Prize: James Wyness (Great Britain) ...dévoiler...déplier...

The musical material has been produced using traditional instruments, synthesizers, noises that belong to other sonorous hemispheres or purely invented sounds. In the proposed unexplored auditory panorama, within the digital elaboration, sounds and noises cease to contrast with each other and become a primary means to make music. At present there are three movements within the composition. However, more are in progress. The first tells of a Venice to be explored through slow strolls in the mists: narrow alleys suddenly leading to a small canal, the gurgling water under the rowing gondolas... all enveloped in thick wintry fog. Technically the piece has been produced using almost exclusively a synthesizer and an acoustic clarinet. The second movement, "Dusky Sultry Padan Plain", presents a rather surreal aspect of the Padan Plain wrapped in the typical sultriness that characterises the summer season. Rising above the flat plains, a myriad of small and humble bell towers witnessing areas now populated only by elderly people and children. Religion remains an important force in these areas, maintaining aspects of bigotry and intolerance.

He not only talks the moon, but also dances with his shadows to the extent of being almost rhapsodic situation. The clarinet was used here to present this roll of the drinking man, while computer music presents the shadows and acts as the creator of the atmosphere of the poem as well. For reflecting the particular oriental quality of the poem, some idioms drawn from oriental instruments were employed here, including rapid alternating figures from Japanese Shakuhachi, sudden dynamics changing and different vibratos used for single tone from Chinese Chin, and the embroidery tone techniques ect...

Subtle and soft sound sections intermittently evoke the sense of an afterimage. The beginning is loud and dramatic, representing corporeal manifestation. Soft, flute-oriented sound comes later, implying unresolved, vague, ambiguous, even imaginative world. Through the dialog of two worlds, the piece intends to depict a constant flux in the manifestation and mystery of life. Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0100
