Mario Verandi / Works / 2006 / 46:47
Es handelt sich um ein Audio-Portrait des Künstlers selbst.
Mario Verandi wurde beim DEGEM Webradio-Wettbewerb für das Stück DE VOCES, DIALOGOS Y AUSENCIAS prämiert.

19. De voces, dialogos y ausencias / 2002 / 14:25
This work is mainly based on recordings of a vocal improvisation realised by a German actor. The improvisation was directed and planned by the composer. A graphic score was created in order to give indications of dynamics, tempo, moods, expression, etc. The actor improvised with spoken texts as well as with vocal and guttural sounds. These recordings were manipulated and processed on the computer using diverse techniques. Words and sentences were fragmented and reassembled in different sequences. The aim was to work with the sonic and emotional content of the spoken texts rather than with their semantics. The original recordings were also processed using several computer software to generate a wide spectrum of sound material. Other sound materials included some percussion instruments such as bongos, snare-drums and triangles. These sounds were heavily processed on the computer to generate new and abstract sounds that complement and contrast the vocal sound material. The piece explores the vocal sonority and expressivity of an actor and aims to extend these qualities using computer software. A 'narrative' is originated from a human voice striving to communicate emotions without making use of language.

20. Comme un jeu des images / 2006 / 12:55
During the years 2002 and 2004 I made sound recordings in an Italian style opera theater built in the 1900's in San Nicolas (Buenos Aires). My interest in this theater stems from the fascinating sounds I found which are produced by some scenographic machinery that has not been replaced since the old times. For example, the mechanisms that put up and down the front curtain and move wooden scenery. I also made recordings of old seats and doors, of an old metal staircase, of parts of the wooden stage and of wardrobes and drawers in the changing rooms. For the creation of Comme un jeu des images, I wanted to take these sound materials to a more abstract musical level. My aim was to move from the original theater sounds towards abstract textures generated through computer processing and manipulation. The composition process consisted in the combination of particular rhythms, timbres and textures to construct a continuum of sound images. The piece ends with a short fragment from the opera Manon Lescaut by Puccini which was recorded on a 1940's vinyl. This opera was performed in the Gala opening in this theater in August 1908. Comme un jeu des images is dedicated to Folkmar Hein.
Premiered in the Inventionen Festival 2006 at the Villa Elisabeth in Berlin, 28.5.06.

21. Bellscape / 2004 / 19:20
In this piece I aimed to explore the spectral and morphological (i.e. the manner in which the sound changes through time) characteristics of bell sounds as well as their manipulation and transformation through the use of computer software. Another important compositional element was sound spatialisation or the placement and movement of sounds in space. Bells are often heard in open spaces and therefore parameters such as distance (near and far), loudness and decay time were incorporated in this piece. In this composition I used bell recordings made by myself in Barcelona, Berlin and at the University of Birmingham (UK) as well as recordings of the Carillon at the Haus der Kultur der Welt in Berlin, which were kindly offered to me by the Electronic Music Studios of TU-Berlin.
Composed and produced at the ZKM | Institut für Musik und Akustik, Karlsruhe.
ZKM Commission Competition Prize. Premiered at the ZKM-Kubus as part of the European Bell Days Festival in Karlsruhe, 26.09.04.
