Charlemagne Palestine organ. “Schlingen Blängen for Organo Rinascimentale Non Temperato” (2004).
“Through my desire to find a sound form that rivaled Abstract Expressionist painters like Rothko, Newman, Still, around 1965 I attempted with the help of a 19th century treatise by Helmholtz, “On the sensation of tone”, and my own exhaustive experimentation with the pipe organ and early electronic synthesizers, to develop a constantly changing molecule like organism as a continuous sound form.
By 1977 those investigations became Schlingen Blängen, a work for electronic oscillators or pipe organ that can last from an hour to several days nonstop in sonic constant chemical acoustic + architectural evolution + transformation in space.”
Un concert de Charlemagne Palestine à l’orgue enregistré en 2004 pendant le festival Angelica à la Basilique San Martino Maggiore, Bologne, Italie.
Ce concert s’inscrit dans sa fameuse série “Schlingen Blängen”, des œuvres pour oscillateurs ou orgue qui peuvent durer des heures ou plusieurs jours, un continuum qui s’accorde avec le travail pictural de peintres tels que Mark Rothko ou Barnett Newman, une vibration organique dans l’espace d’une architecture transformée.
Magnifique !
