The starting point of EGURRA is XY, a minimal piece by the american composer Michael Gordon. Through different aesthetic changes and personal decision a concert/installation has been developed.
The performance explores the limits of the music written down in a score. Which decision we take as a musician in order to bring a score alive? Is it a piece of paper music itself? Which are the limits of the authorship in a score? Which is our leeway as a performers?
Having a score already written down as a starting point, different interpretation decisions have been taken later on. Until which point we can still say that what I play is a piece by Michael Gordon?
In this concert/installation wood is the principal esthetic statement. Looking at wood as a sculpture material, sound source, human activity or way of living, it becomes the total idea of the performance.
During the performance the sculpture and the musical instrument melt into the same thing. The instrument that is a sculpture-The sculpture that could sound as an instrument. Fascinating with these two sides of the coin, the proposal is also a combination between the ritual of concert and the simple experience of being, of observe, of walking around without any pretension. Rationality and non rationality play an important roll in this performance.
Living in a society of the speed, efficiency and rationality, the merely act of being in a passive manner recovers the importance that had in the past. Working on the fields was an act that brought together passivity and activity. Being part of the nature in a deep way, but without the relevance that the rationality imposes. A particular way of seeing our society that we have been forgetting.
Rubén Martínez Orio (Logroño, Spanje 1988). Ik studeerde aan de muziekacademie van Barcelona (ESMuC) en Rotterdam (CODARTS). Op dit moment leef ik in Brussel waar ik deel ben van het ManaMa ICTUS Ensemble. Aangezien ik geïnteresseerd ben in hedendaagse muziek, probeer ik verder te gaan in een aantal actuele thema’s op het vlak van muziek en kunst. Hoe wordt muziek bij het publiek overgebracht? Hoe is muziek verbonden met onze perceptie? Wat is de relatie tussen geluid en beweging? Ik speelde reeds in festivals en locaties als de Biënnale van Venetië, Opéra Paris MaerzMusik van Berlin of de 46ste Internationale für Neue Musik Ferienkurse Darmstadt. Daarnaast, heb ik gespeeld in klassieke orkesten als MCO (Mahler Chamber Orchestra), BOS (Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa) of deFilharmonie (Royal Flemish Philharmonic). Op pedagogisch gebied, had ik de kans om als leraar deel te nemen in de SINAEM van Costa Rica, de onderwijsinstellen van jeugdorkesten die muziek tot bij de minstbedeelden brengt. www.rubenorio.com
