  • Mark Andre - ...auf... I, for orchestra (2005/06)
    SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg
    Conductor - Sylvain Cambreling
    Mark Andre s compositions '...auf...' [...on...] are three independent orchestral pieces. Taken together, they can be heard as a cycle or as a triptych, like a three-part altarpiece. Though they are related, each work begins again the search for new resonances and means for transitions between sounds. ...auf...1 begins with a sustained and spherical sound of the strings. Later the band of sound is invaded by short impulses of the other instruments: the harps play with plectrums while the cellists and double-bass players briefly tap with their fingertips on the resonating bodies of their instruments, the trumpets whistle, and the horn players tap on their mutes with the palms of their hands. Two essential elements of the piece are a short, impulsive attack of a sound, on the one hand, and its resounding and fading away over a long period of time, on the other hand. In ...auf...2 at first two pianos present a dialogue of short events rich in accents and colours before the other orchestral instruments join in. Harmonious, inharmonious, and noise-like sounds are juxtaposed to each other. Compared to ...auf...1 , the orchestral instruments in this piece move even more strongly into strange sometimes metallic and technical, sometimes surreal spheres of sound. Here too, the sonorities coalesce into short impulses and long bands of sound. For the orchestral layout of ...auf...3 the percussion section is expanded to six players positioned around the audience; in addition, a sampler keyboard is supposed to be on the stage as well as live electronics with loudspeakers surrounding the audience. The live electronics follow a precise plan as to when which sounds of the orchestra are to be reproduced additionally from which loudspeaker. A special program for electronic sound transformation permits the so-called convolution of two different input signals: this makes it possible to connect the attack of one instrument with the resonance of another. A drumbeat can for example produce the resonance of a piano, or a string pizzicato can become a sustained flute sound. In the course of composing ...auf...3 the use and implementation of this still-quite-young process was pioneering work for the participating sound engineers and the composer.

    every Mark Andre pieces goes the same way
    Super slow tempo, soft slow drone sustained sounds, lots of silences, long durations with not that much writing
    lazy music.

      Andre's pieces have a lot of similarities to each other, however I think it's quite harsh to call this lazy music. Try to listen to it as a soundscape, a series of events over a continuous drone, rather than listening as if it were a conventional piece of music.

      @@RyanPower Esa Pekka Salonen said this about composers, im paraphrasing:
      There are two kinds of composers, the kind that keep evolving over time, and the kind that keep writing the same pieces as if laying eggs
      pretty obvious which kind Mark Andre is

      Oh I remember you now; you commented on the score video to Pierre Boulez's Piano Sonata No. 2 and started (and engaged me in) an argument which I didn't even want to have. You even defended a trash-talker who called the sonata a "complete and total piece of garbage." That's low.
      Calling this music "lazy" isn't the best way to describe it; how about "unpredictable"?

      @@benaraujomusic do not remember who you are, maybe I have the memory of a goldfish. But it sounds about right, I do defend free opinions.
      And no, "unpredictable" isnt even a trait of his music. If anything, it is extremely predictable. The superficial quality of his music was stated in my comment.
      So nah, "lazy" is the best word, for me to describe it.
