"...Both music and video evoked the terror and intensity of Goya's Black Pinatings compellingly. Journal SEAMUS, Vol. 18, No. 1
Grito del Corazón was inspired by Goya’s “Black Paintings. ” Their haunting, stark quality was deeply compelling to both myself and artist Kathy Aoki. When the Ensemble Barcelona Nuova Musica wanted to commission a work for their Painting Music program, premiered on November 20, 2001 at the VIII Festival de CinemaIndependent de Alternativa 2001, I immediately recalled my intense response to Goya’s paintings in the Prado, and suggested this theme. These paintings surrounded Goya in his home known as the “Deaf House,” because a devastating illness had left him completely deaf.
 Judith Shatin | The contents of the paintings deal with terrifying subject matter, such as Saturn devouring his Son (Saturno Devorando a su Hijo). In all cases, the images invoke fear and trembling. I met video artist Kathy Aoki at the MacDowell Artist Colony, and it was there that we decided to collaborate on this project. Kathy is based in the San Francisco Bay area and has created a number of multimedia works, as well as fine art prints and art books.
The score involves guided improvisation, with the sonic world inspired by and reflective of both the digital musical and visual images. Versions are available for a variety of solo and chamber combinations. The digital music was created using RTCmix (Realtime Cmix), with extensions developed in the Virginia Center for Computer Music (University of Virginia), by John Gibson, John Rhoads and Dave Topper. |
