Lilian Gordis (harpsichord)About
“Oh ok, so each sonata is a zone? Girl wants to be conceptual – who needs Tumblr, right? No no no, zones last a bar, two bars, five repetitions of the same phrase. I mean, it is hard to predict. I think that is the point, actually. When you are in the zone, it doesn’t matter.
“When you change zones, Domenico doesn’t care if you would like time to shift, k thx bai. It shifts. Because he said so. I don’t even think it is capricious. Just…wrong. The zones are volcanic, dull, annoying, beautiful, rigid, incoherent.
“Recording is itself a uniquely fragmented process. I only have snapshot memories of it. Darkness, the few hours of the night when it is quiet, splashes of light when you go listen in the back. Disembodied voices talk to you in snippets. You are in the zone. They are the zone. I don’t think there is better music for a first recording precisely because the music itself is the image of the medium: spliced. Who writes music that splices itself? A number of arguments have been written about Scarlatti’s personal and artistic disjointedness. I don’t talk about composers either – I don’t know Domenico personally.
“The sonatas are spaces on the page, shifted barlines, broken records. They are headspaces that shouldn’t follow suite, where abrupt silence and run-on confusion mix and match almost like experimentations in schizophrenia. I think you have to almost embrace dysmorphia, discomfort with the self and the boundaries of a space-time continuum to take the thin line off the page and submerge, breathless, in 80 minutes of Scarlatti.
“Get in the zone.”
