Juan Arroyo - Sikus-Arka/Ira, 2010
for recorder ensemble, Paetzold recorder ensemble and live electronics

Siku means pan flute in Aymara language. This instrument of South American origin has inspired the writing of the piece in the form and in the modes of sound production. The piece consists of three parts: Arka, interlude and Ira, referring to the two parts of the pan flute. Arka is the feminine side of the instrument with 6 or 8 holes of play and Ira the male side with 7 holes of play Siku can be played two ways, the way of the city with the notes played by a musician, or how interdependent countryside with two musicians who each only half notes, and that answer. This technique requires less breath (useful at high altitudes), more synchronization between the two interpreters and causes a stereophonic effect.

In referring to parts of Siku, this piece was written for two flutes sextets (a sextet of flute recorder and a flute sextet Paetzold). The set is divided by 4 groups and each group consists of three musicians, three microphones and a speaker.

Following a research about the sound of flutes and Siku I am still fascinated by the amount of sounds made by filtering the resulting position of the mouth or the intensity of breath. So I decided to continue the same approach with electro, with the use of different filters that act on the white noise generated in the computer and the capture of Dynamics flutes. This filtering allows me to get a curtain that often masks the sound of flutes. and thus be able to imagine a world hidden far away, full of sound or simply unknown forsake submerged in the unconscious distance and only allows me to dream.

And another work:

White Label Experiment

Composed to celebrate what would have been the hundredth birthday of avant-garde pioneer John Cage, this work pays homage to the ideas and philosophies embodied in his music and his words. Cage was famed for integrating non-traditional instruments into his work and for coaxing unconventional sounds from traditional ones; accordingly, Lizée—herself noted for incorporating turntables and other electronic devices into the concert-music setting—here makes extensive use of various objets trouvés (including typewriters and vinyl records on portable turntables struck with mallets) as percussion instruments, regardless of their original purpose.

The idea of "preparing" instruments, one of Cage's most significant contributions to modern music, is reflected here in alterations made to the surfaces of vinyl records, generating new patterns and melodies by creating new paths for the stylus. Lizée has described this piece as a kind of dance party for Cage: "a re-imagining of a rave."

This work was premiered on March 2, 2012 at the 'So Percussion' concert presented at Koerner Hall in Toronto (Canada).
