About
The organ and its interaction with its acoustic environment compliments Radulescu’s ‘spectral music’ palette and what he referred to as ‘sound plasma’ – a special state of sound beyond equal temperament. Intimate Rituals III is presented in its version for cello and ‘sound icons’. During 1965-69, Radulescu had transformed his Bösendorfer grand piano into a kind of harp, putting it vertically on its side and without cover, naming it sound icon. The strings are tuned spectrally, played with a V-form bow of horse hair or with other objects like coins, spheres etc. (The keyboard is not used at all.) Due to the special tuning and the bowing technique, if one just touches a string all other strings begin to resonate, creating a rich harmonic halo around each sound. In 1985 Radulescu, together with Petra Junken, recorded two improvisations, each of them on two sound icons. The superimposition of those tapes is used here to accompany Tunnell’s cello.
Liner notes by Shushan Hyusnunts and Christoph Maria Moosmann.
