David Tudor: Rainforest IV (full)
Loading...
Uploaded by ilirlluka on Aug 1, 2011
The "Rainforest" series, composed by David Tudor (pianist and experimental music composer), rapresent sounds electronically derived from the resonant characteristics of physical materials.A collaborative environmental work, mixing the live sounds of suspended sculptures and found objects, with their transformed reflections in an audio system.This particular long composition creates a very complex soundscape, that includes electronically produced sounds of all the elements of a rainforest, in a very detailed and subtle work.
David Tudor has been particularly associated with the composer John Cage.He gave the premiere of Cage's Music of Changes, Concerto For Piano and Orchestra and the notorious 4' 33". Cage said that many of his pieces were written either specifically for Tudor to perform or with him in mind.The two worked closely together on many of Cage's pieces, both works for piano and electronic pieces, including for the Smithsonian Folkways album: Indeterminacy: New Aspect of Form in Instrumental and Electronic Music (1992).
Tudor wrote mostly electronic works, many commissioned by Cage's partner, choreographer Merce Cunningham. His homemade musical circuits are considered landmarks in live electronic music and electrical instrument building as a form of composition.
Among many works created Tudor composed Soundings: Ocean Diary (1994), the electronic component of Ocean, which was conceived by John Cage and Merce Cunningham, with choreography by Merce Cunningham and orchestral music by Andrew Culver.
