Drumming GP/ Time Poetries de Carlos Guedes
Time poetries (Poéticas do tempo) é um ciclo de peças para lâminas e pequenos instrumentos de percussão e electrónica sobre suporte fixo que exploram a música como uma suprema arte do tempo, tornando-o audível de várias formas. Isso é feito explorando e aplicando técnicas de ilusão temporal como os “ritmos de Risset” que criam ilusões de acelerando ou retardando contínuas e infinitas, ritmos Euclidianos, ou técnicas de modulação métrica usadas comumente na música carnática do sul da índia. O ciclo, totalizando cerca de 56 minutos, leva os ouvintes numa viagem hipnótica, induzindo estados de transe e explorando sonoridades que evocam a música psicadélica. Pretende-se que o ouvinte entre numa viagem musical libertadora experienciando vários estados emocionais que advêm de diferentes formas de estar no tempo. Como afirmou Susanne Langer, “a música torna o tempo audível” (1953, p. 110). Esta obra pretende tornar essa relação visível.
