Música controversia. Plastic and sonorous Biber

The year 1696 witnessed the creation of one of the most sophisticated works within the chamber music production of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704) In fact, at the end of the 17th century the author of Bohemian origin produced a collection of seven scores, created in the form of a trio of sonatas, which are defined by their spectacular technique, but above all by the exquisite use of scordatura, or the different form of tuning the two solo violins, which makes it possible to achieve a sonorous imagination and a textual range that are impossible using the traditional tuning of concert instruments. Thus, the emergence of the album Harmonia artificioso ariosa in diversi modi accordata marked a great advance in violin technique, as well as in the expressive and rhetorical capacity of music, thanks to the embellishments, chords and graceful turns that the different tuning systems proposed in each of the partitas allow the performers.

 

Harmonia artificioso ariosa is itself a language, a language developed thanks to the aesthetic resources created by a brilliant use of scordatura. A Central European tale from the 17th century, that Música controversia distils with a contemporary Canarian vision in a production that combines music and live arts in a frontal relationship. An image that enables the word and music that generates the existence of the image. A graphic ring in which the musicians battle in a rhetorical struggle that creates a work of art in itself.

 

With Música controversia, El Afecto Ilustrado provides a cock fight on a white canvas, that the performers themselves are a part of, and who the visual artist involves in his work as characters who feel, converse, argue, disagree and agree. The most immediate present on the pictorial ring, a space for debate that brings the Central European reality of the 17th century face to face with the Canarian reality of the 21st century.

 

Música controversia is a symbiosis of the arts. A combination with sound as the source element, condensed in a plastic form. Painting is established as the catalyst of a perfect rhythmical, dynamic and rhetorical structure. The dialogue proposed by the music turned into form, light, colour and texture by image. The reflection on sound of the 17th century transported into the 21st century through image.

 

A unique production that is fleeting and permanent, ephemeral and persistent. Like life itself.
