麻豆约拍

脴yvind Torvund's Untitled School deftly brings together the sounds of standard instruments (pianos, guitar, a large cymbal), non-standard ones (whistles, ocarina, harmonicas), homemade apparatus, household objects (a milk steamer and a plastic bottle) and samples.

The first section, 鈥淪cales,鈥� made of upward arpeggios that are all similar but not identical, interspersed with other material including twinkling broken chords and downward scales, as promised.

鈥淭extures鈥� is made of staccato notes on the pianos in the shadow of sampled sounds, and again there is similarity but difference all through.

鈥淐hords鈥� has features from both predecessors, along with, indeed, crashing chords and passages of rapid iteration.

鈥淚mitations鈥� pays homage in turn to Rimsky Korsakov鈥檚 Scheherazad, Liszt鈥檚 Faust Symphony, Strauss鈥檚 Don Quixote, Ravel鈥檚 Ma M猫re l鈥檕ye and Scriabin鈥檚 Po猫me d鈥檈xtase.

鈥淛ungles鈥� has appropriate noises both recorded and simulated, along with a chord sequence on guitar and other additions.
