The MATA festival of young composers returns to the Brooklyn Lyceum this week, in its first season under new directors Missy Mazzoli and Chris McIntrye. The concert starts in 1/2 hr or so, but right now, I’m in the Diapason Gallery Lounge listening to an excerpt from Leif Inge’s 9 Beet Stretch, watching commuters scurry across 4th Ave against a pink-blue sky. Inge uses electronics to stretch out Beethoven’s 9th symphony to a full 24 hours, which is at intervals serene, haunting, and absolutely terrifying.
I bumped into my friend Rich on the way in, and he said this is the kind of music he’d want to have playing in his bedroom at all times. He might want to reconsider that once he hears the chorus kick in.
Does the piece sustain the notes for the appropriate length of time, or does it stretch a pre-existing recording, creating the weird gaps and artifacts that occur when you do something like that?
Either way, it would be an interesting-sounding exercize.
Inge uses special software to stretch a pre-existing recording, without any pitch distortion. You can read all about it here: http://www.notam02.no/9/
