Garcia, Orlando Jacinto - Fragmentos Del Pasado
SKU
NA124
This collection of new classical Latin American work by the Cuban born, Miami based composer is a series of pieces that invoke an abstract expressionist sensibility set against a time free present. Repetition and slow evolution of materials result in a temporal stasis which is similar in effect to some Asian and Latin American musicsthe perception of the moment is of great importance. Explorations of the counterpoint between register, density, timbre and pacing are the aesthetic basis. Extreme care is given to the nuances of entrances and exists, to the points where silence begins and sound ends. At times the music feels far away, set in a vast distancelike a night sky or memory; and at other times it is strongly present, full of current and emotion, with deep colors and powerful gestures. Through some one hundred works composed for a wide range of performance genres, Orlando Jacinto Garca has established himself as an important voice in the new music world. The distinctive character of his music has been described as time suspendedhaunting sonic explorations" with "a certain tightness and rigor infrequently found in music of this type"qualities he developed from his studies with Morton Feldman among others."
