Bartok-inspired Remixes

11-12: Being Bartok, Angel M, Galo V, Jakai W, Jessenia G, Keyarsa H, Process, Sienna M

In the fall of 2011 six students studied Bela Bartok and created short pieces inspired by Bartok’s work.

We watched Latcho Drom, a 1993 French documentary about the Romani people’s music-laden journey from north-west India to Spain, and talked about Bartok’s journeys collecting recordings of folk music in Hungary.

The class took a field trip to William D’Abate Elementary School to record CMW families’s folk songs, but were challenged by peoples’ reluctance to sing into our recorders!  Similarly, we approached strangers in a neighborhood park and were met with some hesitation.

We did end up with a few recordings and, after learning different techniques for remixing and layering sounds in Logic, created a few new versions of folks songs that were shared with us. The original project idea evolved and resulted in experimental pieces that combined our field recordings with discordant modern electronic music samples.

Arran Boat Song – Orions

10-11: Sara's Orions, Anthony T, Jakai W, Jayson R, Process, Sara Stalnaker, Sienna M

This is a slow, mournful irish tune named after islands off the coast of Ireland.  It is in 3, and has a dotted rhythm; make sure to feel the second beat before leaving the dotted quarter at the beginning of each measure.  We’re performing this on the October 28th Skillz hour!

E minor Warm-up – Orions

10-11: Sara's Orions, Anthony T, Jakai W, Josh R, Process, Sara Stalnaker, Sienna M

Say these rhythms a bunch of times before playing them! You are in extension only on the C string for this key, E minor.  E minor is the relative minor of G major, which means they share a key signature (one sharp: F#) This is in a ‘call and response’ form, so listen to each cell, then repeat.  We’ll perform this at the Skillz Hour on Friday, October 28th!
