SPACE by Adaya Godlevsky
A graphic notation composition for harp / harp and electronics
The Album SPACE addresses the constant and fertile reverberations in the spaces, where compositions are performed and incarnate in life. It breathes within the delicate boundaries of the absolute score, and the moment of choice in the musician’s improvisation.
The outlines of composition encourage each player to discover and express himself or herself and use the composition as their own. The score was given to several musicians - Zeena Parkins, Ada Ragimov, Rhodri Davies, Helene Breschand, and Lior Ouziel, each recording his or her own interpretation. These different pieces become part of a new whole.
As an album, these different interpretations now are re-integrated into a prism, their integration both intertwined and separate.
