This piece was created by Yamila Ríos between February 2010 until June 2010 for the Taiwanese percussionist Mei-Yi Lee. The idea was to explore the sonic qualities of such a simple instrument as the bass drum. I divided the possibilities of the instrument into two main categories. In the first one are the different sounds that the instrument can produce. In this piece the bass drum is played in places and in ways that are not the common ones. The second one are the different objects that can vibrate, move and sound thanks to the vibration of the membrane of the instrument. All these different sounds are captured with two microphones and transformed with the program Max-Msp.
The piece, as the title suggests is divided in three. In each part a different sound material and transformation of this sound is used. These three parts are quite different from one another and the idea was to create a different space and atmosphere in each of those parts.
As the title implies, the latest from Lebanese artist Yara Asmar combines ambient synths with treated accordion in dreamlike songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 31, 2023
