Dialogo del Soffio e del Metallo Pièces contemporaines pour trompette orgue et éléctronique

The process, we could call an alchemical metamorphosis, of the transformation of the human breath into sound and then into music, is what makes the trumpet one of the most fascinating and most emotional instruments since ancient times. It is no coincidence that the idea of the trumpet as an object generating signals (although the meaning goes well beyond the practical function), as an instrument intended to announce events of particular importance, has always been present in Western culture, witnesses are countless iconographies. The great composers of the past did not resist the charm of the instrument, and even the production of the XX Century is vast and kaleidoscopic. After this premise, the concept of dialogue must be clarified. This compact disc is in fact structured intertwining different dialogues that take place simultaneously between different subjects, dialogues that reveal themselves immediately and dialogues that remain hidden and must be sought more in depth: dialogues that intersect and intertwine with each other. An initial dialogue develops within the instrument itself, or rather in the process in which the air pressure allows the metal to vibrate and consequently generate sound waves. A second dialogue in this record is the one present in pieces in which the composition starts from a breath - as in t1 by Tae Hong Park - or dissolves with a breath - as in Metallics by Yan Maresz. Dialogue between the pieces with a solo trumpet and trumpet mixed with electronics, between scores that include the trumpet accompanied by the organ and among all these compositions and pieces created with an unusual instrument such as a huge metal cutting blade. Organ pipes and metal percussions, also instruments close to the trumpet, inanimate objects that generate music thanks to the “life” transmitted in them and on their surface by the performer.
