Roulette [GENERATE]: TAK Plays World Premieres

Roulette [Generate] presents TAK ensemble performing world premieres by composers Mario Diaz de Leon and Lewis Nielson alongside music of Irish composer Ann Cleare.

Lewis Nielson – Super flumina Babylonis*

Ann Cleare – Unable to Create an Oscreen World (C)

Mario Diaz de Leon – O Ignis Spiritus*

*denotes world premieres

The latent yearning in Diaz de Leon’s setting of Austrian poet, Georg Trakl, will find its expression in settings of the Latin text “O Ignis Spiritus” by Saint Hildegard of Bingen, her tribute to the Pentacostal flame from which she claimed inspiration. This blending of the modern and the medieval, the foreboding and redemptive features rooding sub-bass frequencies, layered repetitive figures, gestural writing, medieval plainchant, and various combinations with electronics, ranging from the intensely physical to the ethereal.

Lewis Nielson’s Super flumina Babylonis was conceived as part of a cycle of works concerning the contentious but righteous John Brown. The texts and the strained manner of their presentation contain musings, inarticulate assertions, and meditative monologues using fragments of a variety of contemporary folk material and the 18th century hymn

Ann Cleare’s unable to create an offscreen world (a), (b) and (c) are a series of pieces, which explore ideas of wrongness, incompatibility, and inability with ferocious streams of energy, confidence and hope.
