Composition 2020.01 (Barbara Hepworth) features a recoding of the artist Barbara Hepworth reading from her diary:
‘It took a long time for me to find my own personal way of making sculpture. A long time to discover the purest forms that would exactly evoke my own sensations - and to visualise images which would express the timelessness of primitive forces which I felt - and the constant urge towards survival - and growth - which I knew to be fundamental - both to the human being and the landscape in which we stand’.
Other components of the composition include a continuous sinewave-based tone pitched at C1 - and three shorter sounds pitched at C2 and C3. Ring modulation has been applied to some of the elements to create a level of harmonic complexity.
An ambitious cross-genre journey from the Richmond Avant Improv Collective, who bring in 17 (!) guest musicians to fill out their vision. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 12, 2021
