These silences are not breaths but expressive spaces around the blocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/c97532fc-af85-493a-8d58-b8d4dd1eb786/Imagen5.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities In this example, we can see silence dividing different segments. By becoming an expressive element, silence contributes to generating a non-discursive music in which there is no linear development, but rather a cyclical musical phenomenon. Returning to the aspects of the indigenous worldview, every element of Aymara culture is conceived as cycles: seasons in which the instruments remain silent, seasons to celebrate, to fear, to rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/ba6add65-c6e7-4831-b01d-6e354edd8662/Imagen6.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities Here we have a movement composed exclusively of a single note (C) in different registers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/a2876ce9-7174-4122-b4ea-7de8e059a7a2/Imagen7.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities Here, the wind instruments and the claves make short interventions while the piano is constantly playing a trill. The material is reduced to a minimum. The stasis and austerity don’t refer to a passive being-there. This being-there can also be aggressive and visceral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/41625d7c-06c6-4321-bdbf-8e85900d57a0/Imagen8.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities Here, the melodic/harmonic aspect maintains an extreme limitation in the use of materials. It is a single chord of four superimposed augmented fourths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/af0174ab-f7c9-4c69-8ae2-4c605de6572e/Imagen9.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities In the second movement, the pedal on E has a significant rhythmic complexity, each part is simple but the timbral and rhythmic texture generated in the ensemble needs each part to function. This could be clearly seen during the work carried out in the rehearsals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/b092c28e-2e84-40c5-bc25-dc70f2c7e3ed/Imagen10.png Blog - Ancestral sounds, contemporary aesthetics: the music of Graciela Paraskevaídis and the vindication of Latin American indigenous identities This excerpt shows the relationship between oboe, clarinet and trumpet. Even though it’s not precisely an arca-ira technique, the complete melody is divided among the players. Missing one of them would be missing all. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/da73cf78-d646-4b6b-9e96-563a85fb965a/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/699ef666b686904b2368bd9e/da73cf78-d646-4b6b-9e96-563a85fb965a/thumbnail Blog -
