RICERCA SONORA proudly presents, as its second release (RS2), a fantastic
collaboration / improvisation between PHILIP CORNER, MICHEL VOGEL and
PHOEBE NEVILLE.
Phœbe Neville is musician, singer, and dancer. Philip Corner composer,
musician, and former professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
Michel Vogel, a musician and maker of instruments, principally
percussion (gongs and bells). He has for this occasion installed a
double frame for eight steel bells inspired by a Burmese model. In the
context of "Archipel" the three present a performance in four parts.
This limited release is titled "Musiques des Ailes / Wingèd Music", and
was recorded in Paris, in June 1999 at the "Archipel" (the atelier of
French artist Polska).
Philip Corner and Michel Vogel plays, while Phoebe Neville dances and
plays, the sound sculptures (bells & gongs) made by Michel Vogel.
The
original model for these bells is a flat piece of bronze or copper
placed in the doorway of the Kachins or Mungs of Burma, now realized
with today's metals by Michel Vogel.
These recordings documents their experimentation with the resonant
properties of metals. "Musiques des Ailes" is a beautiful album of
improvisations: drones, silences and minimal vibrating music that going
into an unheard territory.
Metallic resonances, obscure low frequencies, pure vibrating sonorities: "Wingèd Music"!
With the gongs of Michel Vogel; played by him, Philip Corner and Phoebe
Neville, at "Archipel" (l'atelier of Polska) Paris, Oct. 3, 1999.
With a text titled "Hers the Bell of Wings" of Jean-Louis Vincendeau, both in English (translated by P. Corner) and French.
