Horatiu Radulescu 1942-2008

Rambler · Sep 26, 2008

I know there are some Radulescu fans here who'll be very sad to hear the news that Radulescu died yesterday after a long illness.

Avant Garde Project nos.85 and 109-111 are a good introduction to his music.

This Paris Transatlantic interview from last year is worth a read.

RIP

CAPRICORN'S NOSTALGIC CRICKETS II opus 16 no 2 (1980)
(1. composed 1972 in Grasse/Les Lucioles, 11. composed in Versailles) I. Edition Modern Munich ; 11. Lucero Print

7 flutes move along a "square well" of 96 sounds - an "infinite melody", closed circle of "inharmonic" quarter-tones. Each of the 7 has a different start point: a canon which had already began since the sound-sources play continuously.

Each sound lasting ca 9 seconds (subjective time) is irregularly placed within a period of 11 second-long (objective time). Imagine a sphere with equidistant 96 meridians/feints through which irrupt 96 micro-music events. Due to their various consistency that implacable periodicity (the 11 second-pulse) will become imperceptible.
