4. Solo Improvisation for Voice and Hands (2015)

Composed and performed by Gabriel Dharmoo.
From the Sound of Montreal concert et je reverrai cette ville étrange.
Recorded live at Le Gesù, Montreal, October 10, 2015.
Sound of Montreal is an intercultural ensemble and research project led by Sandeep Bhagwati and Ensemble Constantinople. In our first concert, every member of the group was to perform a short improvisatory interlude, in which we had to play our instrument in an unconventional way. I like to sing unconventionally by default, so I decided to extend my instrument and incorporate my hands. What you hear is the combination of air, voice, lip buzzing, and resonating vibrating hands. -Gabriel Dharmoo

1:25

5. Cramp My Style (2015) Audio available on CD only.

Composed and performed by Gabriel Dharmoo (voice) and the trio Of Sound, Mind and Body: Tim Brady (electric guitar), Helmut Lipsky (violin), and Shawn Mativetsky (tabla and percussion).

From the album Concert #3 Le Gesù (Redshift Records).
Recorded live at Le Gesù, Montreal, January 25, 2015.

In January 2015, Groupe Le Vivier organized an open-door event at Le Gesù, our new space for new music in Montreal. I was invited to join the trio Of Sound, Mind and Body for an improvisation gig, which we ended up enjoying enough to produce an album! "Cramp My Style" includes a wacko-tragic recitation, comical honking, exhilarating yodelling, and a soothing conclusion. -Gabriel Dharmoo


6. 38,208 km (the distance required to make this work) (2016)

Composed and performed by crys cole.

This piece was created in 2014 for five-channel sound diffusion for the Lautsprecher sound program at Klangkunst im Museum Ostwall in Dortmund, Germany. This 2016 version is a stereo mix of the piece, which has not been released until now. Special thanks to Q_02 in Brussels, Peter Simon, and Joe Talia.

7. Claudius Ptolemy (2008)

Composed by Marc Sabat.
Performed by Daniella Strasfogel (violin) and Boram Lie (cello).
Commissioned by Johnny Chang and Jessica Catron for the Microscore Project.

Claudius Ptolemy's treatise on musical harmony includes exact tunings of many ancient scales, including one called "tense diatonic," a precursor of the major diatonic scale in just intonation, with two different-sized whole tones producing consonant major thirds. This piece is an exploration of the tones and intervals of this scale and is made of two individual parts that may be played separately as melodies or overlaid to make a harmony.
-Marc Sabat

8. Surface slips away, 4: Thoreau Songs (2014) Audio available on CD only.

Composed by Marc Sabat.
Performed by Elise Jacoberger (bassoon), Magnus Andersson (guitar), and Rohan de Saram (cello).
Recorded at ORF Vienna for World Edition, Köln.
Tonmeister: Robert Pavlecka.

For Christian Wolff on his 80th birthday. Commissioned, with assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts, and performed by Trio Al'ud.

Surface slips away is the echo of an imaginary trio sonata. Fine gradations of melody cast out ever greater harmonic distances and the flowing of musical time is offered as an unfinished space of interruptions, recurrences, eddies, and whorls. The various musical episodes were inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau and by reflections on theories by-among others-Zarlino, Rameau, Tartini, Hauptmann, Oettingen, Riemann, and Partch about the origins of the minor chord.
-Marc Sabat


9. Lying in the grass, river and clouds (2012) Audio available on CD only.
In memory of John Cage

Composed by Marc Sabat.

Performed by Daan Vandewalle (piano) and Ensemble Contrechamps, conducted by Michael Wendeberg.

Recorded live at Remise Bludenz on November 22, 2012.

Commissioned by Alexander Moosbrugger and the Bludenzer Tage zeitmäßer Musik, with assistance from the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung and the Canada Council for the Arts.

This piece is a sound machine observed as landscape, a gradual coming into being and dissolving of sonorities: harmonic relationships, enharmonic variations, interferences, emerging out of long melodic phrases. The tempered tones of the piano and their electronic shadows played by a second keyboard dissolve within a larger space of "natural" harmonic relationships based on modulating, interlocking harmonic and subharmonic series. The form of the piece is determined by the relative harmonic proximities of pitches in the underlying cantus firmus, suggesting local tonal relationships, "regions" of harmonic space, which gradually establish islands and galaxies as they spiral away from the initial tuning pitch A.
-Marc Sabat
