BARRETT, NATASHA — Trade Winds
More Info
Eine unserer derzeitigen Lieblings Elektro-Akustikerinnen hat sich dem Thema OZEAN angenommen, aus kultureller / mythologischer wie physischer / naturwissenschaflicher Sichtweise. Das lange Stck verteilt sich auf 8 Teile, in denen vor allen Dingen Wasserklnge (Meeresrauschen und -wellen, Gischt, Blubbern), diverse Schiffsgerusche von einem alten Segelschiff (Holzknirschen, Signalglocken, etc.) und Hafenklngen verwendet werden. Wieder gelingt BARRETT die Balance zwischen schwindelig-machenden atmosphrischen Parts und detailreichen Passagen, zwischen totaler elektronischer Verfremdung und berlagerung des Materials und ganz konkreten "real vorkommenden" Sounds. Nebenbei baut sie noch Seemannsgarn (Sturm auf hoher See) eines norwegischen Kapitns ein sowie Shanty-Chor-Elemente & dstere Orgelklnge, die von JULES VERNE's Nautilus-Geschichte inspiriert sind. Das ganze ist so komplex und dynamisch (im Original ein 16-Kanal Stck), dass die Sinne immer wieder komplett berfordert sind. Man ist hier wirklich hin- und hergeworfen wie auf "Grosser Fahrt"...das Gefhl fr die endlosen Weiten & die unfassbare Gewalt, die der Ozean bereit halten kann, wird hier adquat umgesetzt Bei der CD handelt es sich um eine HYBRYD-CD, d.h. sie ist auch als "SUPER AUDIO CD (SACD) in 5.1 Surround Sound abspielbar! Grosse Klangkunst! TIP !
"In 2006 Natasha Barrett was awarded the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize for her work fetters released by Aurora. Her new album consists of one work only: Trade Winds is a fantastic voyage down to the mythical and physical depths of the wide oceans. The piece is inspired by the vast expanse of sea unleashing the musical potential of recordings from the 100-year-old sailing ship Dyrafjeld, from above and within harbour, shore and open oceans around the world, and the spoken narrative of an old Norwegian captain. From a narrative listening position Trade Winds' macrostructure consists of two halves, the first exploring culture and fables, the second exploring nature and science. The central pivot is inspired by the chapter Mobilis in Mobili from 20000 Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne. Throughout Trade Winds the reference to Captain Nemo is evident in various manifestations of organ recordings. Musical narrative is not necessarily a predictable linear chain of events, and surprise is essential to a compelling story. Natasha Barrett launches multiple narratives in parallel and lets them take turns, interrupt each other, unfold simultaneously, or twist backwards. Sounds emerge from the depths and sweep dramatically across the sound stage in an ever evolving dance of sonic patterns." [label description]
