Sounding Spomenik

A RESEARCH PROJECT BY EDITION FRIFORMA

While the striking still enigmatic visuality of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's abstract brutalist monuments has been well-documented in recent years, hardly we know anything about their sounding aspects. Most of these spomeniks have hollow parts that serve as resonant spaces. The most characteristic materials these historical artefacts were made of are poured concrete and rebar, or steel frame with metallic covering plates. Materials that certainly influence or have audible modifying features to sounds. Curiously, so far, nobody has examined, documented thoroughly and published these enduring landscape objects as acoustic spaces. In 2021, Inexhaustible Editions sublabel Edition FriForma started a long-term research, recording and publishing project to explore and reveal the sonic attributes of the still existing spomeniks around ex-Yugoslavia.

Sylvain Levier: ''Music makes images appear, images make forms emerge, and finally these forms can become tangible''

INTERVIEWS WITH COLLABORATING GRAPHIC ARTISTS

Bagneux-based French graphic artist Sylvain Levier's current work focuses on the practice of drawing which is all about composition, the balance between emptiness and fullness, and what appears and disappears. The idea and illusion that the drawing could ultimately be the result of something other than the hand are at

the center of his approach. Levier is currently working on the cover artwork for French composer Bruno Duplant's new solo release entitled Chance, to be released this Summer, and on its limited art editions with original, signed and numbered artworks attached. Ten questions and ten answers about his working

ideas and methods regarding Duplant's music; about displaying artworks on release packagings; about limited art editions and about his drawings as possible graphic scores.

Osvaldo Coluccino: ''When art manages to escape from the excessive presence of the medium, it could reach a touching result''

ARTIST INTERVIEWS ON NEW RELEASES

North Italian composer and poet Osvaldo Coluccino has been creating music since the late 70s, and completed his oeuvre as a poet in 2003. His compositions – ranging from orchestral through chamber to electroacoustic works – have been commissioned by the most prestigious festivals in Italy, and have been presented on stages all over the world. His monographic releases were published by record labels such as Kairos, Col Legno, NEOS, Another Timbre or Die Schachtel – and now, the latest one by Inexhaustible Editions. Interview about presence, absence, being a composer, being a poet, being a composer and a poet; about misleading classifications of his music and about his compositions in progress.

Ferran Fages: ''I base myself on working hypotheses which are often open questions''

ARTIST INTERVIEWS ON NEW RELEASES

Marked by an interest in minimalist and austere approaches, Catalan guitarist, composer and improviser Ferran Fages’ music decontextualizes the relationship between soft acoustic and bold electronic sounds. His interest in resonance and interpretive gestures serve him as a support in the search for the elasticity of sound. From Grey To Blue is his debut composed work for solo piano. Ten questions and ten answers about writing for solo piano, his early composed music influences and present working methods, his new project with trio TRUSS that we released earlier this year, and about his trilogy composed for guitar and sine waves between 2015 and 2018.
