To Mother Earth
\nGAIA (Maurizio Puxeddu, 1996)
\nFor piano and delay
\n————————————-
\nGaia is a minimalist piece for piano and delay, it presents rhythmic repetitions and overlaps of elementary and minimal materials, associated with a delay – an electronic effect – which creates in real time a repetition of the sounds produced by the pianist.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe delay in GAIA is used to create a pulsating rhythmic grid, from the right to the left audio channel, on which the musician places all the sound materials and develops the musical discourse quietly, increasing and decreasing in a different way, between right and left hands, the dynamics and temporality of the sounds, between the sound of the piano and the one processed by the delay.<\/p>\n

This registered version of GAIA is a theme to be developed. The live performer can afford variations and interactions, playing and relating with his action on the keys to the fixed rhythmic grid (delay), in a more important way than in recording, so as to shift the dynamic and temporal focus.<\/p>\n

Listen to GAIA in the video for Abbasal\u00eca – Stories from the wind and the sea<\/p>\n
