Episode Synopsis

This sound of theremin artist Anthony Ptak. Liner notes: A Concert for Solo Theremin in La Granja, Spain (2006) [18:22] Calart Actual - Iglesia de San Juan Nepomuceno July 22, 2006 8pm at Plaza del Teatro S/N Real Sitio de la Granja de San Ildefonso - 40100 Segovia - Espana. This live polyphonic solo theremin performance work recorded in LaGranja, Spain concentrates on sound as a carrier of information. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. The acoustics of the performance space are analyzed, along with synthetically generated phenomena. Sound is a physical axis that occupies and transforms space. The heterophony of the theremin antenna is navigation. All sonic materials acquired, performed, and improvised by the composer. - AJ Ptak
