Kristopher Magnuson (USA)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n Kristopher Magnuson is a composer from Cleveland, OH. Recent works have seen (or are scheduled to see) performances at the AMOK Experimental Music Platform in York, UK; the Sound Thought Festival in Glasgow, Scotland; the Canadian Music Centre in Toronto, Canada; and the SoundSCAPE Festival in Maccagno, Italy. He has also completed works for guitarist Rob MacDonald in affiliation with the Canadian Music Centre, the Genkin Philharmonic at SUNY Buffalo, and multiple electronic works for the Cleveland Ingenuity Festival. His Palos for string quartet, based on flamenco song forms, won first prize in the University of Toronto String Quartet Composition Competition, and received its world premiere with the Cecilia Quartet at the 2015 University of Toronto New Music Festival. He received his DMA in composition from the University of Toronto in 2018, where he studied with Gary Kulesha. His dissertation, Gambier Mass, was scored for winds, percussion, electric guitar & delay pedal, and men\u2019s chorus. Future works will largely focus on melding the art\/alt-rock aesthetic with traditional notions of lieder.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Circle (2018)<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\nThe Circle is a work for horn trio and soprano that melds the art-rock aesthetic with more traditional notions of art-song or lieder. Its title is drawn from an eponymous poem by Polish writer Zofia Romanowicz. On both technical and emotional levels, I strove for accessibility and immediacy to allow the listener to focus on the poem\u2019s text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Loridan (France)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n Martin Loridan is a French composer. He graduated from the Paris Conservatoire National Supe\u0301rieur de Musique (CNSM) and is currently pursuing a PhD in composition at the University of Leeds (UK). His work has been performed internationally at venues and festivals such as the Barbican Center (London), BKA Unerho\u0308rte Musik (Berlin), Gasteig Philharmonie (Munich), Estovest Festival (Turin), Mise-En Festival (New York), Kalv Festival (Gothenburg), International Forum of New Music Manuel Enriquez (Mexico City). He has collaborated with ensembles and orchestras such as the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Arditti Quartet, ensemble Mise-en, Soundinitiative, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Xenia, ensemble Accroche Note, Quatuor Tana, Norrbotten NEO, Cepromusic, and international soloists such as Claude Delangle, Rohan de Saram and Claudio Pasceri. He has been awarded prizes in several composition competitions, such as the Reinl-Foundation Composition Prize, the Andre\u0301 Jolivet Composition Prize, and the Vareler Composition Prize. He also receives academic grants and awards such as the Stanley Burton Research Scholarship and was recently awarded the prestigious Villa Salammbo\u0302 residence (Tunis) by the Institut Franc\u0327ais. His PhD research develops the idea of \u201cSouffle\u201d (air, breath, and movement) as a multidirectional composition material and composition tool, working on timbre, and texture and exploring relationships with resonance and vibration. His research is funded by the \u201cLeeds Doctoral Scholarship\u201d. His works are published in BabelScores editions.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Chim\u00e8res, nous sommes mont\u00e9s\u2026<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n(Chimeras, we have ascended…)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe piece is a homage to Rene\u0301 Char. Rene\u0301 Char was a 20th-century French poet and member of the French Resistance. The piece sets to music a specific excerpt from \u201cSeuls demeurent\u201d, a poetry collection was written during the war (1938 \u2013 44) but published in 1945. Char was strongly opposed to any form of publication during the French occupation, and, as suggested by the title (\u201cSeuls demeurent\u201d), poetry and its aim are for him the objects that \u201conly remain\u201d in the war\u2019s horror. The piece is inspired by the very last verse of \u201cle visage nuptial\u201d (the largest poem of \u201cSeuls demeurent\u201d) which is an evocation of a brief moment of joy – the love Char briefly found with Greta Knutson during the summer of 1938, before engaging in the somber horror of the war as a resistant. The phonetic and symbolic richness of the text generates the main musical flow. The work starts from the very respiration to slowly create an instrument\/voice dialogue, exploring every detail of Char\u2019s words, to ultimately reach an almost silent flow of air (end) – the evocation of the two lovers\u2019 respiration but also of one of death and horrors still to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Volf (Velika Britanija\/Austalija)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n Mark\u2019s music is motivated by extra-musical processes of invention. His practice focuses on the parallels between architectural space and musical time. His spatio-temporal renderings are steadily reaching wider audiences with recent performances across Europe, North and South America, and Australia. Mark is a graduate scholar of the Royal College of Music, Master of Music in Advanced Composition Programme, earned his Bachelor of Music with Honours in Performance from the Victorian College of the Arts \u2013 University of Melbourne and his Bachelor of Music in Composition from the Elder Conservatorium \u2013 University of Adelaide. His concert music has received recognition through commissions by Hans Westerman AM, Nu\u0301cleo Mu\u0301sica Nova, British Harpsichord Society, National Portrait Gallery UK, and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; premiered at venues including Teatro da Reitoria Brazil, Handel House London, St Martin-in-the-Fields, the National Portrait Gallery UK and the Melbourne Recital Centre. In 2017, Mark was announced the winner of both the Flute New Music Consortium Composition Competition for his solo flute piece Hamar\u00f8y Troll and the Etymos Ensemble Composition Prize for Umbra-Penumbra-Antumbra for vibraphone. Mark is currently undertaking his PhD candidature at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Without an Exit<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n\u2018Without an Exit\u2019<\/em>is a musical rendering of Daniel Libeskind\u2019s spatial design in the architecture of his Felix-Nussbaum-Haus. Dedicated to the life work of the Jewish painter Felix Nussbaum, a fleeing fugitive forced to work in secret within tiny hidden spaces and killed in Auschwitz in 1944, \u2018Without an Exit\u2019 is a retracing of the fatal elements and dead-ends of Nussbaum\u2019s life. The confusing and labyrinth-like orientation of the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus is architecturally designed to influence the visitor\u2019s experience. The directional conditions in \u2018space\u2019 translate into the composition\u2019s arrangement of musical events in \u2018time\u2019, while Libeskind\u2019s conceptual ideas for integrating physically and spiritually an expression of Nussbaums\u2019s martyred life provides the musical narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
