about

James Tenney was a prominent experimental composer and music theorist of the 20th century. His work "Cellogram" is a composition for cello dating from 1971. Tenney was known for his innovative and experimental approach to music, and "Cellogram" is no exception.

In "Cellogram," Tenney explores the possibilities of the cello and the interactions between different sounds and techniques. The piece is characterized by its attention to the instrument's resonance, textures and harmonics. The notation and performance of the piece may involve unconventional techniques to produce a variety of expressive sounds.

It is important to note that James Tenney's music often delves into the realm of experimental music, which means that his works can challenge conventional expectations and explore new frontiers in terms of sound and musical expression.

This musical release represents a unique and evocative interpretation of James Tenney's composition "Cellogram," performed by Darkduction. This work is distinguished by its experimental approach, where the original cello performance is transformed through advanced granular synthesis processes.

Darkduction has injected its artistic vision and skill into the interpretation of the "Cellogram". Every note, every nuance and every expression captured in the recording reflects a deep connection to the experimental essence of the original composition. The recording has been precisely crafted to preserve the tonal richness of the cello.

The resulting tracks have undergone an intricate process of granular synthesis. This innovative approach has allowed the original Darkduction recordings to be broken down and reconstructed into smaller sonic fragments, creating rich textures and unexpected frequencies. Granular synthesis has been masterfully applied to explore sonic possibilities beyond conventional boundaries.

The release features four unique tracks, each with its own tonal palette and dynamic sequences. The carefully selected tonalities offer a variety of listening experiences, from melodic and emotive moments to more abstract and challenging explorations. The changing sequences hold the listener's attention, creating a constantly evolving sonic journey.

This release "Cellograin" by Darkduction represents a bold exploration at the intersection of classical performance, sonic experimentation and the limitless possibilities of granular synthesis. Immerse yourself in a sound world where the boundaries between the organic and the electronic are blurred, inviting a deep reflection on the very nature of music.
