\u201eMusikformen der Natur\u201d is the first album in history dedicated to contemporary music composed for the late medieval portative organ. This rare instrument is a small, portable (lat. \u201eportare\u201d \u2013 to carry) organ with metal pipes. During playing, the performer has complete control of the air pressure which goes to the pipes. Thus he can shape the sound in an extraordinary way, impossible to achieve in the case of the larger organ. Despite its ancient construction, the portative organ opens new possibilities for contemporary music.<\/p>\n
The title \u201eMusikformen der Natur\u201d refers to the work of Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) \u2013 a German zoologist whose fascinating drawings are still inspiring artists. One of these artists is John Franek, the composer of \u201eSiphonophoria\u201d \u2013 the central piece recorded on the CD. It consists of five movements inspired by siphonophore \u2013 a kind of jellyfish to whom Haeckel dedicated a few tableaux of his famous \u201eKunstformen der Natur\u201d.<\/p>\n
The album opens with an algorithmic composition \u201ewhat holds them together\u201d by Gilberto Agostinho. The constant fluctuation of dynamics (and of intonation of the instrument at the same time) breathes life into the mathematic construction (linking together such parameters as rhythm, volume, and pitch) and brings the organicity to the foreground. The last piece on the album is Riccardo Perugini\u2019s \u201eStudio natatorio\u201d, in which the composer explores the possibilities of transferring whales\u2019 respiratory system into the \u201ebreathing instrument\u201d that is the portative organ.<\/p>\n
