TEKSTOVI IZ RADIO EMISIJA Volans Kevin: 4. i 5. gudaèki kvartet / COLLINS; 14172 Dva su posljednja gudaèka kvarteta Kevina Volansa (4. i 5.), u interpretaciji "Kvarteta Duke", ponovila uspjeh ranijih (èiji su se nosaèi zvuka prodavali u iznimno velikoj tiraži) i doživjela njihovu neobiènu sudbinu. Naime inspirirali su koreografe mnogih plesnih grupa. Oba nam kvarteta prezentiraju zrelu skladateljsku osobnost prepoznatljiva i prijemljiva idioma koja je u gudaèkim kvartetima našla svoju kreativnu mjeru. Sam je Volans istakao da su mu gudaèki kvarteti kralježnica skladateljskog rada. Zamjerke o pretvrdim sastavnicama i dopadljivim efektima su nestale, a otprije prepoznatljivo izuzetno dobro Volansovo poznavanje moguænosti glazbala u ovim kvartetima briljira. Flažoletni tonovi, sordinirani zvuk i posebno ugaðanje instrumenata za pticolika zvuèanja kroz ritmièku jedinstvenost i melodioznost stapaju se u organsku cjelinu s autentiènim tonskim zapisima Južne Afrike, koji na specifièan naèin diktiraju kauzalnost glazbene teksture. Koreografi i baletani su zgodno opisali svoju oèaranost splinovitim, magiènim i ritualnim ovih kvarteta nazivajuæi se taocima Volansovog glazbenog opijata.

TEKSTOVI IZ RADIO EMISIJA Volans Kevin: Koncert za klavir i gudaèe... / CHANDOS; 9563 Njegova zadnja kompaktna ploèa s kraja godine 1997. demonstrira sve spomenute znaèajke Volansova idioma skupa s upuæenim prigovorima. To su: ritmièka jedinstvenost plesni karakter djela, snena melodioznost, ingeniozna orkestracija uz spomenuto proèišæavanje idioma. Ipak, ostaje dojam hinjenog rearanžiranja uspjelih suzvuèja ili uzoraka bez èvršæeg uoblièivanja a, prema minimalistièkom principu, popunjavanjem odreðenog vremena; svaka od skladbi mogla je biti i duža ali i kraæa. Volansova ideja kako dobra skladateljska tehnika omoguæava instinktivni pravi pokret-pomak u reduciranoj glazbenoj graði kredo je ove kompaktne ploèe, koji ponajviše dolazi do izražaja u skladbi "Untitled (In memoriam G.H.V.)" iz godine 1996. Spomenimo da u intervjuima Volans istièe dobru proðu nosaèa zvuka s njegovom glazbom i to da preko dvadeset plesnih grupa trenutno koreografira i pleše njegova djela.

In the late 1970s, following several field recording trips to Africa, he embarked on a series of pieces based on African compositional techniques which quickly established Volans as a distinctive voice on the European new music circuit. Since the mid-80's his work has been extensively performed and broadcast worldwide. Sixteen compact disks which feature his music are currently available, two of which, performed by Kronos have reached the top of the classical charts.

18. XEBEC SoundArts6: Kevin Volans Interview. From Sound Arts. http://www.sukothai.com/X6.volans.html

sa Sound Arts vol. 6 XEBEC SoundCulture Membership Magazine Beyond Stockhausen Kevin Volans by FUJISHIMA Yutaka (lecturer of psychology and contemporary music) After studying with STOCKHAUSEN, Kevin VOLANS broke from the composer and attempted to stake out new musical territory. FUJISHIMA Yutaka discusses his meeting with Volans, and shares some thoughts on his electronic sounds. The delicacy one senses in his compositions is not merely an attempt to pursue self-identity, but arises from Volans' desire for perfection in his work. In the fourth part of this series, the author deals with Volans as the composer who completely changed his conception of electronic music. Stockhausen at Expo '70 I first heard Stockhausen's live electronic music at Expo '70 in Osaka; the German pavilion was built especially for it. At the time, Stockhausen, the composer of numerous live electronic and multi-channel compositions, had advocated the construction of halls for electronic music. The spherical pavilion at the Expo was the result of this. When I entered the building, I found Stockhausen seated in front of a mixing board positioned higher than the audience. I no longer remember in detail the music he played, but what impressed me was the way the sound moved in space, the voice of the soprano coming from such a high place ( ), and Stockhausen and the players bowing to the audience from an even higher position.

Home Composers Kevin Volans Kevin Volans - The Man With Footsoles of Wind updated 20 August 1996 Kevin Volans The Man With Footsoles of Wind fl(pic).cl(Ebcl).bcl(Bbcl)/tpt.2hn/btbn/2perc/pf(cel).hp/string quintet Chamber Opera based on the life and work of Arthur Rimbaud Originally conceived by Bruce Chatwin Libretto (En): Roger Clarke Characters: Arthur Rimbaud, tenor Arthur as a boy, treble Madame Rimbaud, his mother, soprano Isabelle Rimbaud, his sister, soprano Captain of the African steamer, spoken part Djami, his African servant, baritone World Premiere: 2 July 1993 Almeida Opera David Perry, conductor Peter Mumford, director Siobhan Davies, choreographer Neil Irish, designer Commissioned by ENO Contemporary Opera Studio and Dancelines Productions Ltd. Composer's note: Bruce Chatwin and I began collaborating on this opera in early 1987. It is the last of Bruce Chatwin's projects to be completed. It was conceived of as an extension of some of the ideas outlined in his book The Songlines , principally the idea that the natural state of man is nomadic. The main body of the opera is set in the Ethiopian desert and is like The Songlines , "an imaginary conversation on an imaginary journey." Roger Clarke's libretto draws on Rimbaud's "A Season In Hell," which, to some extent seems to prefigure Rimbaud's wanderings in Africa, like a kind of 'songline.' For me, the most interesting aspect of Rimbaud's life was his ceasing to write at the height of his powers, and spending the rest of his life travelling, (presumably in search of a fortune). This 'move to silence' made him a paradigm of modernism. I placed his death at the beginning of the opera as a symbol of his move to silence, and in the last act there are long sections where the singers do not sing, or where they take on more 'instrumental' roles, singing without words. In this age of intrusion of the media in our lives and homes, and the scramble for popularity, I think it is up to us to insist on the arts as a life-affirming force (rather than an up-market consumer product), even if it means withdrawing to silence altogether.
