about

[EN]
Manuella Blackburn’s work brilliantly embodies the vivid side of modern acousmatic music. This first disc of the Manchester-based British composer will keep the listener’s mind awake from the first to the last second. One will find dynamic works where the discourse is articulated with incredible finesse. Each element is precisely organized within complex timbre structures of great clarity. Each piece is based on sound materials carefully selected and delicately processed: from the electric guitar, to electronic switches to traditional musical instruments. In these bursts of sound remains an emphasis on pitch, uttering a reference to tonal musical history, keeping the listener drawn into the singular narrative of a frankly lively work.

[FR]
L’œuvre de Manuella Blackburn incarne avec brio la vivacité de la jeune musique acousmatique. Ce premier disque de la compositrice britannique établie à Manchester gardera alerte l’esprit de l’auditeur de la première à la dernière seconde. Elle y propose des œuvres dynamiques où le discours y est articulé dans une finesse inouïe. Chaque élément est précisément organisé dans des structures timbrales complexes qui resteront toujours d’une clarté limpide. Les pièces sont chacune basées sur des matières sonores soigneusement choisies et modelées dans le détail: guitare électrique, commutateurs électroniques jusqu’aux instruments de musique traditionnels. Parmi ces éclats de sons demeure également un travail sur la hauteur, proférant ainsi aux œuvres un référent musical historique qui gardera l’auditeur attiré par la narrativité singulière d’une œuvre foisonnante.
