In collaboration with the Harold Golen Gallery, FETA Foundation presents Jorge Variego (clarinets and electronics) in a concert filled with new works by Latin American composers . The music contemplates the fine line between composition and free improvisation while engaging electronic media. The program of works by Blas Atehortúa (Colombia), Ricardo Dal Farra (Argentina-Canadá), Jorge Variego (Argentina-USA), Daniel Schachter (Argentina), Jose Miguel Candela (Chile), Miguel Noya (Venezuela) and Mirtru Escalona Mijares (Venezuela) features a balanced spectrum of electronic, acoustic and  visual components.

Roberto Oliveira premieres “Nunca tan lejos” in Galicia

Nunca tan lejos (vibráfono, electrónica y video) – 2015 – Estreno mundial (click to watch the video)

Compuesta en SuperCollider, la electrónica intenta extender, desarrollar y muchas veces contraponer el discurso del intérprete a través de patrones que emergen y se evaporan. El material esencial de la pieza surge de una serie armónica que el vibrafonista revela gradualmente. El ordenador sigue un proceso similar, introduciendo transformaciones microtonales y procedimientos distorsivos que se acumulan, invitando a un viaje hacia un mundo de sonoridades poco familiares. La obra ofrece una serie concatenada de imitaciones imperfectas que van desde la adrenalina pura a momentos de profunda introspección.

Structured in two parts, the presentation will focus on the performative aspects of the electronics with and without external controllers.  
The first section will discuss live coding and algorithmic design in SuperCollider using two of my recent works as examples. La jungla and A rare form of kleptomania.
In the second portion I will address some aspects of instrument design and their potential for improvisational settings using external controllers in Max Msp.
Both sections will have live demonstrations and recordings.

Roberto Oliveira – Kableado in Santiago de Compostela

Screen Shot 2015-06-01 at 7.24.21 AM

Kableado
es un programa de percusión, electrónica y arte visual, con  altas dosis de improvisación, que busca generar un ambiente propicio para el entendimiento de estas nuevas tendencias en el arte sonoro y
fomentar el interés por la música electroacústica. Con instrumental de percusión convencional (vibráfono, cencerros…) y no convencional (piedras, agua, madera, metal…), Kableado reúne obras Gewis6web1-700x464de Andrés Àlvarez (Galicia), María Mendoza (Galicia), Raúl Tudón (México), Jorge Variego (Argentina) y Diana Pérez y Reyes Oteo (Andalucia), concibiendo un universo de nuevos sonidos, texturas y sensaciones. Arte sonoro y nuevas tendencias de la mano de Roberto Oliveira, alquimista audaz y vanguardista, centrado en la interpretación de nuevas técnicas, recursos instrumentales renovados y aspectos escénicos inusuales, motivado por el enriquecimiento y renovación del concepto y la experiencia del concierto como un todo.

Performance: July 10th
