JORGE ANTUNES – IN DEFENSE OF THE MACHINE (CD by Pogus)
Pogus surprises with a release of electronic works by Jorge Antunes,
spanning almost 40 years. Antunes is a Brazilian composer and pioneer of
electro-acoustic  music. He studied violin and composition, and started
building electronic instruments in the early 60s. Antunes is still in
business: he is professor of composition at the University of Brasilia and
president of the Brazilian Society for Electroacoustic Music. Many of his
compositions are about combinations of conventional acoustic instruments,
tape and electronics. This is also the case for the works offered on this
release.  It contains three early works from the 60s, plus 4 compositions
of the 90s and 2003. ‘Insubstituivel 2a (1967) is written for cello and
tape. An odd combination of conventional and unconventional elements.   The
piece is  very melodic, showing that Antunes also combines known musical
elements as melody and rhtyhm   with unheard organisations of electronic
sounds. ‘Mixolydia’ (1995) is a fine piece for theremin and tape. Opening
with a singing theremin, short, harsh sounds start to break in and to
interfere with the theremin. Fine contrasts are the result. I enjoyed the
playing of Lydia Kavina on theremin. ‘Miro  escucho miro’ is a battle
between piano and tape, a piece that shows orchestral proportions and
inspired on the paintings by Miro. In other compositions Antunes chooses of
other acoustical instruments as the marimba, tenor saxof piano. The title
piece of the album is divided in three parts, and shows very successfully
the balanced interaction between acoustic and electronic sounds. Balancing
between the known and the unknown I felt pleasantly lost in this garden
full of exuberant flowers (DM)
