4) POWER OF RHYTHM
Every composition of the “Space Project” has movements, in which
the art of playing drums in a virtuoso manner is integrated into the
composition. Here, Tupac Mantilla and Reinhard Flatischler are
interacting with the whole orchestra that now turns into a mighty
rhythm generator as well.
5) BEYOND SPACE
Everything so far was a preparation to dive into the actual meditation
of this mysterious phenomenon space. It starts with a portal in which
quite unusual sounds call the listener into a direct participation of
contemplating space. Beyond Space consists of a metamorphosis of
three rhythms: starting with a twelve beat cycle, the rhythms evolve into
an eleven beat cycle, recited by the choir in multiple voice layers and
ending up in a mysterious layering of a seven and a six beat cycle. When
their elements are “singled out” - which is a composition technique of
the Waves Project - the audience feels a coherence but cannot grasp
how everything is interconnected. An atmosphere of wondering, awe
and introspection opens up.
6) SPATIUM OMNIA TU
Never before has there been a coherent polyrhythmic choir in the
history of classical and avant-garde music. The polyrhythm of three and
four create an unstoppable drive, which is different from groove, just
based on one pulsation alone. This movement conveys the following
messages, sung by the choir:
Spatium, omnia tu, Omnia nosti, Omnia saecula!
Spatium, omnia tu, Omnia iungis, Omnia omnibus!
Tu narra de terra, Narra de nobis Narra caelestibus!
Space, you know everything, really everything, all ages
Space, you connect everything, everything with everything
You, tell us about the earth, tell us about us, tell us about the
heavenly beings.
Tu es via clara, Tu es noster angelus,
Testare hanc vitam, Narra mundo nostram musicam!
Tu es via clara nostra, Tu es noster vere unus angelus!
Testare hanc vitam, Nostram musicam!
