Description
«Rulfo/voces I» is the first part of a cycle of five pieces for violin, viola, violoncello and live-electronics after the work of the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo (1917–1986). His work, consisting of a novel and 17 short stories, depicts rural Mexico at the time of the Mexican Revolution as a world marked by hopelessness and solitude. His poetic language, rough, unadorned and of deep musicality is language of myth, language of remembrance.
The pieces were initially intended as studies on melodic writing. «Rulfo/voces I» was composed after «Rulfo/voces III» for viola und live-Electronics. Here the monodic sound is split up in three voices in a similar way as the live electronics proceeds: it analyzes the sound at certain points, creates a resynthesis and transform it onto a composed resonance.
The piece was commissioned by Klangforum Vienna for the opening of their rehearsal studio and premiered by Annette Bik, violine, Dimitrios Polisoidis, viola, Benedikt Leitner, violoncello and Germán Toro Pérez, electronics.
