Order here : http://psychonavigation.bandcamp.com/album/chalant-memento-mori PRESS RELEASE After the haunting narrative tale of Cool Steel Army in 2009, Psychonavigation Records is proud to present the latest project by Ireland’s godfather of Electronica Roger Doyle. When speaking about the project recently Roger said “I have composed music around telephone answering machine messages left on my machine from the late 1980s: from my now-deceased parents, my son when he was ten (he is now a father himself), Jonathan Philbin Bowman, and the morning after the opening night of Oscar Wilde's Salomé at the Gate Theatre, for which I composed a 2 hour onstage piano score. There's a presence, an atmosphere of nostalgia around these messages. Perhaps it is something to do with irretrievable time and the distance of 24 years that has passed since they were left.” These intimate verbal time capsules have been interspersed with instrumental compositions evoking a world of an ancient race memory, giving a hint of exotic imagined cultures. Both ideas are forms of time signatures. In 2011 The NOVA programme presented by Bernard Clarke on Lyric fm broadcast a one hour profile of these new works of Doyle. The programme which is built around Chalant was then chosen as one of the Top 5 winners in the prestigious Prix Europa awards in Berlin.

psycho Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Nice radio broadcast that features Roger's album and other voices from the telephone! http://www.wnyc.org/shows/newsounds/2012/apr/03/ From the melodious inflections of phone messages, listen to a number of works sourcing voicemails, most from tape(!) on this New Sounds program. Hear Irish composer Roger Doyle’s “Memento Mori,”composed around intimate verbal time capsules culled from various answering machine messages of Doyle's family, close friends and partners, all of them recorded and preserved in the late 80's. Then listen to some answering machine message songs, from Jocelyn Pook’s "Portraits in Absentia." Plus, Missy Mazzoli's "I am coming for my things," also from a phone message as its source. PROGRAM #3320 Music from Telephone Answering Machines (First aired on 4/3/2012) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/71617-roger-doyle-chalant-memento-mori/#findComment-1792008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
