It was the discovery of his first symphony (made while studying under Ferruccio Busoni) that made me completely surrender to Kurt Weill. So much craft in such a short life. Here is his Intermezzo, which as far as I know, I am the first to record and publish on the world wide web … hard to believe.

Introducing a new composer pairing release, this time with @little_miss_echo & Hanns Eisler.

A pairing of works by two composers who exemplify pushing back against oppressive systems; both operate at the interventions oscillating between poles of hemispheric influence; both are embedded in film-music; the embrace of colloquial and popular musical idioms; the strategic blueprint of stylistic integrity; the yearning for home.

(post-script)

Having settled in Los Angeles in 1938, Eisler and his wife were deported after being blacklisted by the US House Committee on Un-American Activities in March 1948. His statement when leaving from LaGuardia Airport went as follows:

“I leave this country not without bitterness and infuriation. I could well understand it when in 1933 the Hitler bandits put a price on my head and drove me out. They were the evil of the period; I was proud at being driven out. But I feel heartbroken over being driven out of this beautiful country in this ridiculous way.”

“So for me, that’s a subjective judgement … Nancarrow is simply the most important composer in our time. He made something completely original, totally different from what others did, on the highest level, on the level of Johann Sebastian Bach, or late Beethoven.”
—György Ligeti

Conlon Nancarrow’s Sonatina was the first piece composed while he was in exile in Mexico City. Its difficultly and complexity for human players eventually led him towards devising methods for creating the music for mechanical player piano, which would be able to realize his ideas while simultaneously expanding his sonic appetites and imaginative clarity.

Like A Villain In Anisotropic Birefringence
three live-code remix experiments of @holland.andrews

Birefringence is the phenomenon exhibited by certain materials in which an incident ray of light is split into two rays, called an ordinary ray and an extraordinary ray, which are plane-(linear) polarized in mutually orthogonal planes, or circular-polarized in opposite directions (left and right).

Anisotropic birefringence in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is exactly the kind of subtle clue that could mean the cosmos has a hidden bias baked into its very fabric. The twist at the boundaries of magnitude express unseen dimensional fringe interactions.

For the third issue of the Sonatina Series I focus on Sonatina 3 ad usum infantis Madeline M.* Americanae by Ferruccio Busoni, a gentle, melodic and visionary work of deceptively rigorous and integrated construction, deriving all of its motivic elements and structure from the very first few bars, and alluding to his thinking on the course of new music as exemplified in his treatise Absolute Melody (1913). I detect in it his continuing fascination and admiration of Native American cultures as also explored in his Indianisches Tagbuch, and its reflections of America and childlike wonder abound in a stridently beautiful approach using free polyphony and techniques of augmentation, inversion, and variation. It is at once charming and disarming in its trajectory. Busoni wrote in 1916:

“My heart... is in a state of adolescence again; shy and full of longing and lacking practical impact.”

Thus we find the composer reveling and reacquainting himself with the freedom and exploratory mind of a beginner, using the sensibility of someone who at this time was already considered a great master and one of the leading figures of the avant-garde in Berlin.
