John Franek: Wavelengths

John Franek: Wavelengths

Selections of the work Wavelengths will be performed at Paiknam Music Hall of Hanyang University as part of the 2024 International Computer Music Conference.

WAVELENGTHS gathers visual light phenomena as subject material for musical representation and imitation, thereby producing aural wavelengths which are descriptive of their visual counterparts. Additionally, each instrument’s sounds are augmented through live electronics in order to more fully capture the refractory nature of their optical wavelength counterparts.

The cycle was first performed and recorded in Amsterdam and is available on the Donemus Composer’s Voice Label.  The piece utilizes the (unfairly) little known Contrabass Pan flute and Paetzold Great Bass Recorder.

The Composer’s trip is is supported by the Program na Podporu Zahraničních Mobilit Doktorandů from the Akademie múzických umění v Praze.

Benet Casablancas: Three Epigrams for orchestra

This work belongs to a chapter in the composer’s oeuvre characterized by formal concision, concentrated discourse, and expressive contrast—all qualities inherent to the epigrammatic poetic genre—without neglecting other associated aspects such as direct effectiveness in the exposition of the argument, wit, and even certain moral connotations.
