The Brighton native, but now a Porto resident, Christine Fowler presents her debut Lp in the newly founded Wasser Bassin Label.<\/p>\n
Recorded between 2007 and 2009, this is the 1st volume of C.Fowler ongoing project.<\/p>\n
The title speaks for itself: a collection of untitled field recordings, nicely blended with some reworks of famous classical composers, such as: Franz List, Richard Wagner and George Enescu. According to the author’s own words: ” This project is an old ideia of mine – that of mixing found sounds, nature sounds, “random” sounds with actual music. I forced myself to bring a new perspective to a good but old sound, basically I tried to make Liszt play the piano like Morton Feldman would and make the Atlantic Ocean sound like a contemporary music ensemble. Actually, my goal wasn’t that hard to achieve, mainly because the means I chose to work with were already incredibly rich, soundwise. I just had to chop off what I didn’t find necessary… Like a surgeon removing a skin cancer … (sarcastic laughs)”Proveniente de Brighton, mas agora a residir na cidade do Porto, Christine Fowler apresenta o seu primeiro longa dura\u00e7\u00e3o na rec\u00e9m-criada Wasser Bassin.<\/p>\n
Gravado entre 2007 e 2009, este \u00e9 1\u00ba volume de um trabalho ainda em progresso.<\/p>\n
O t\u00edtulo do \u00e1lbum deixa pouca margem a deambula\u00e7\u00f5es: tratam-se de grava\u00e7\u00f5es de campo mescladas com novas e pessoais interpreta\u00e7\u00f5es de pe\u00e7as cl\u00e1ssicas de autores, tais como: Franz Liszt; Richard Wagner e George Enescu. Segundo as palavras da autora: “Este projecto \u00e9 j\u00e1 uma velha ideia minha que consistia em juntar sons dispersos, sons da natureza, sons “ocasionais” com m\u00fasica propriamente dita. Forcei-me por trazer uma nova perspectiva a um bom, mas j\u00e1 antigo som; basicamente tentei que Liszt tocasse piano como Morton Feldman tocaria e que o Oceano Atl\u00e2ntico soasse tal e qual uma ensemble de m\u00fasica contempor\u00e2nea. Em boa verdade, o meu objectivo foi f\u00e1cil de atingir, pois os meios escolhidos para trabalhar eram, em termos sonoros, bastante prof\u00edcuos. Digamos que s\u00f3 tive de cortar o que era desnecess\u00e1rio… Tal como um cirurgi\u00e3o remove um cancro de pele… (gargalhadas sarc\u00e1sticas)”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
