Not so Laetitia Sonami, whose triggering device enables her to move about the stage with asubversive grace, setting off sonic events with the wave of her hands, minute finger gestures and minimal dance-like motions. With her trusty laptop off to the side, Sonami gave a captivating performance at CalArts on Wednesday, as part of the Musical Explorations series. For the French-born and Oakland-based Sonami, the integral relationship of sound manipulation to body movement is key.
So too is the specific conceptualization of each piece, relying on various sonic parameters, texts and attitudes. There were three works in hourlong performance. a Loose Engine combined alternately dense and ethereal sounds with a recited text by M. Sumner Carnahan. Live narration, dance movements and real-time sound-summoning blended beautifully.
The sensory ante was upped in With a Light Bulbs around and over the stage flashed in syncopation, triggered along with a sound bank generated from altered such as software and spreadsheets. Finally, Sonami got rocking with a dance music piece on more than one level. Propulsive rhythms hinted at the dance impulse of electronica, but Sonami pushed toward art music by constantly tweaking dynamics and sonic density, from tickling to pummeling. Experimental music is rarely this visceral and engaging. MUSIC REVIEW Sonami displays sound motivation By Richard S.
Ginell Special to The Times So far, 2003 has provided some interesting times for the California EAR Unit. Last month, the group played arare concert in New York City consisting mostly of pieces from its recent CD only to receive a withering review in the New York Times. The sextet returned to L.A. for a gig earlier this month at downtown address, the former Santa Fe Freight Depot, courtesy of the Chamber Music in Historic Sites series. That one turned out to be a real treat, an irreverent detour back to what you might call its legacy repertory music two or three decades old by the mentors, Mel Powell and Stephen Mosko, and like- minded iconoclasts such as Henry Brant and Frank Zappa.
In the tradition of the Dada-es- que Fluxusmovement, the group and the audience also participated in titled like tossing paper airplanes and chewing on carrots. Although the performance of Black seemed a bit stiff and cacophonous for all its enterprise, the EAR Unit much of a rock band there was plenty of playful expertise and imagination to be heard that afternoon. The EAR Unit returned to its usual hangout, at Bing Theater, on Wednesday night, doing its usual service of exposing new music of more recent vintage. Although an EAR Unit postcard called this program there much madness to be heard in eight mostly brief pieces that were often content to present just one modest, undeveloped idea apiece. David was merely an electronically distorted cello line with percussive punctuation.
Linda Catlin Qui quietly repeated a Chopin-like piano lament with scraped violin in the manner of Morton Feldman but not, thankfully, at his great length. Patricio da Aperiodical-Aperi- odically a series of short, swift atonal licks; spare, creepy swatch of nachtmusik One piece that did present an absorbing progression of ideas was William Guys on a Hilltop The illustrating an argument and reconciliation between Christ and his that culminated with a delicious jazz groove. worth noting that the Sites concert drew a larger, more diverse (skewed somewhat older) audience that went wild over the music and the jokes, in contrast to the more settled new-music folk in the vast, gloomy spaces of the Bing. Is the EAR Unit catching on with a new audience that is catching up with new past? Or was it just abetter program? MUSIC REVIEW EAR sedate By Don Heckman Special to The Times The teaming of Canadian singer Wendy Landswith the music of Polish composer Wladyslaw the pianist- composer whose story is told in the Oscar-nominated film is one of the more unusual combinations inrecent memory. On Thursday, Lands debuted many of the pieces from the Lands Sings the Music of the PianistWladyslaw in a performance before an overflow audience at the Mint.
The songs were drawn from the hundreds of numbers written by Szpilman, who, as a professional composer in a socialist country, provided compositions for every imaginable occasion. Album producer John Leftwich selected a diverse representa- tion of the songs, commissioned ateam of lyricists to supply new words and arranged the material in updated musical settings. In performance, a few tunes were standouts especially We Will Love and and despite the coy quality of interpretations, which too often seemed at odds with the relatively sophisticated quality of the music. rich, atmospheric harmonies and his well-crafted melodies attested to an apparent admiration for American songwriters such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter. And one suspects that, given different circ*mstances, he could well have had a successful career in film music or as a composer of Broadway musicals.
It was easier, however, to admire the nature of the project Thursday than its results. There is a marvelously uplifting quality now, when another war looms on the horizon about the fact that this music has survived and that Szpilman, who lost so much, was nonetheless able to find so much to give. But also an off-putting quality to the decision to modernize his music. Many of the songs in their original-language versions are classics to Polish listeners. Staging them in 21st century pop-music settings seems to implicitly suggest that the character, the style and the lyrics of the original conceptions are somehow not acceptable to listeners without contemporary framing.
The obvious question is, why not? If the songs of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brechtcan still be heard and enjoyed in their original settings, why not the music of Wladyslaw Szpilman? POP MUSIC REVIEW Lands joins her voice with.
