This work was originally released by Unió Musical in 1992.
Now it is released by alg-a netlabel. This was possible thanks to the permissions given to netlabel alg-a by one of the creators: Inmaculada Cárdenas.
The netalbel alg-a wanted to release again this work under a digital format, because this is a historical work and an important reference to all experimental music a sound art that was made and will be created in Galicia.
Espacio Permeable was a musical research group located in Lugo, directed by Inmaculada Cárdenas and formed by Carmen Soilán, Victoria Mejía, José Blánquez, Jesús Otero and Suso Pardo.
"Concierto para Esculturas Sonoras" is based on the sound emitted by five sound sculptures that were created by each one of the members of the group.
Following this paragraph you can read some information regarding all the composition that are included in this concert:
The first composition is organized in three parts and each of them is, at the same time divided in three different sections. The first movement starts with a slow dying, settled by the evocation of these huge animals, the whales. The central section framed by an allegro, starts off with a staccato that we define as a game, finishing in improvised rhythms that try to carry us to a pagan wedding.
The second movement also divided in three sections, starts with a call to prayer, transporting us, after that, to Orient, ending in a rigid metric that we have called Occident.
The third movement a little bit more complex in its realization, starts with an evocation of the volcanos, like a mobile eye penetrating in the innards of the earth; fissures landslides, stalactites, all will be recovered in the third section in a different fulfillment, leaving in the central section a rhythmical frenzy. A very brief section will put full stop in its alive and organic form.
The second composition has also a tripartite organization in which it must be emphasized by its dimension the lento central that is organised in two parts. "The sea" and "The organic Ship", both on the same tempo, recover, on one hand, oniric process, evocative of the "Bateau Ivre" of Rombaud, and on the other hand, the same ship in its alive and organic form.
The first part, an allegro moderato, evocates adventures and pirate stories that cut through the seas always searching for the happiness of gold. Organized like a mechanism of five parts, in which stands out the theme of the pirate (that gives the name to the ensemble) and its contratheme. The repetitions process of each of the five elements and its entrance in a canon form, create a composition that slides from the pianissimo of the theme, describing a perfect triangle of symmetry.
The last part the "Tragic March" is a cyclic composition that starts and dies in itself. It evocates the magnitude and tragedies of the Atlantes, these imaginary beings that inhabited once the Mare Tenebrosum.
We have elaborated subsequent to the musical composition, some essays of pictorial scores corresponding to each of the movements. We find in them the sonorous guide lines that we hope will help the listeners to follow our music; and even if it seems surprising it can be played by any musician who had been explained the internal code which it’s ruled by.
