Description

The Brazilian born composer Emanuel Dimas De Melo Pimenta, who now live is Lisbon, Portugal, has an unique style and dense weavings of sound is evident in each composition here; repeated listenings will reveal new layers of sound. Pimenta composed experimental electronic music as graphic scores with the aid of computers and random generators. The sources for the works are natural sounds: metallic objects ringing in Rings, the voice of Caruso in Rozart, a collection of short-wave radio transmissions from all over the world to South America in Short Waves 1985. David Tudor and John Cage was very impressed by Pimenta’s compositions and sound, commissioning him to score dances for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company where he started as a composer in 1986.
