"Exploration of the House" revisits the playback-feedback acoustic winnowing of Lucier’s most famous piece, "I Am Sitting in a Room," but with the source material being a live orchestra playing fragments of Beethoven’s "Consecration of the House" overture. Each fragment is recorded as it is performed, then sent back into the hall and re-recorded, until the acoustic signature of the space is all that’s left. As in so much of Lucier’s music, the schematic is so obvious as to immediately disappear, leaving instead the repeated opportunity to focus one’s attention on what is normally so plain in music-individual notes, phrases, timbres-and realize just how restrictively framed one’s normal perception of those artifacts usually is.
correct :) there is also a similar work intended as a completion of Mozart's requiem. Unfortunately I never heard it, Conceptually it would probably be the most interesting one
Alvin Lucier est plus que le reflet d'une époque. C'est un astéroïde fantôme qui revient jeter son dévolu sur l'art sonore. Une onde décadente chargée de paradoxes d'où s'échappent l'obscurantisme et l'irrationnel, facteurs hypnotiques défiant les âmes vulnérables en quête d'absolu. Cette architecture sonore est un court tunnel qui mène à la lumière !....
@@emilianoturazzi In this music there floats a kind of mist suitable for dreams and gentle drifts. A climate of rediscovered peace that we sometimes feel without knowing exactly why during certain summer nights! this artist build a discourse of interiority, of breathing, which knows how to make room for silence¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One of the best works by Lucier.
can you explain it to me? how do the particular modulations correspond to the 'house' in the title ...?
