Musica Sequenza brings together Baroque composer’s powerful arias with new forms of musical technology and the sounds of the urban 21st century. Baroque music’s contrapuntal melodies are it’s strength. Instantly memorable, they express the emotions of these timeless works. The composers of 18. century reused a number of their works in diverse projects: there was no copyright in his day, nor could music be reproduced by technological means. Sampling and the phenomenon of universally available music did not exist in the age of baroque.
Ever since he was a child, composer Burak Özdemir has been exploring the world of sound. He collects sounds, combining them, rendering them unrecognizable and testing their mutability by taking them to their furthest extreme. He is an expertise on historical performing techniques on baroque instruments, just as he is aware of the almost literally unlimited possibilities of electronic music. Human feelings – love, pain, joy – are the same as they were in the 18. century. In baroque music literature, they were portrayed as “affects”, with carefully delineated dividing lines between them. This is Burak Özdemir’s starting point for his latest production “Sampling Baroque”. He brings electronic music into the equation as a chamber music recitalist. Every aria has its own world of sound. High-end electronic sounds are brought face to face with the soulful arias of monumental baroque works.
