about

First and only official album published by this unknown Basque composer of electronic music. Gliss is a unique work based on a geometric canon created by Juan José Aranguren in 1984, interpreted sonically years later by Andres Doñate (1956-2015). A sound composition of an unprecedented complexity and richness somewhere between music and installation sound.

This double album includes some texts by Juan Jose Aranguren and Alex Mendizabal about Doñate's life and work, and a printed version of the geometric canon by Aranguren.

Gliss is the first release of A(RR), a sublabel of ELSA records, curated by AUDIOLAB (www.audio-lab.org).

____________

GLISS Andres Doñate (Donostia, 1955-2015) soinu artista eta konposatzailearen lana da. Uhin sinusoidalak eta algoritmo matematikoak erabiliz eraikitako soinuzko pieza honek Juanjo Arangurenek pentsatu eta diseinatutako kanon geometriko baten moldaketa proposatzen du. 80ko hamarkadaz geroztik musika eta soinuak konposatu arren, Doñatek gaurdaino argitaratutako lehen lana da Gliss. Lau zatitan banatzen den konposizioak nortasun artistiko bakan eta berezia erakusten du, eta zoritxarrez izebergaren punta baino ez den arren, harek egindako lanaren korpusa ezagutzera emateko balio du.

Edizio honek Diska bikoitz hau Juan Jose Aranguren eta Alex Mendizabalek Doñateren bizitzari eta lanari buruz idatzitako testuak eta Arangurenen kanonaren inprimaketarekin osatzen da.

Gliss A(RR) edizioak-en lehenbiziko erreferentzia da. A(RR) AUDIOLAB (www.audio-lab.org) elkarteak zuzendutako ELSA recordsen azpizigilua da.
_____________

Gliss es una obra del compositor y artista sonoro Andrés Doñate (Donostia, 1955-2015). La pieza sonora es una adaptación de un canon geométrico diseñado por Juanjo Aranguren, la cual, Doñate, interpreta mediante el uso de ondas sinusoidales y algoritmos matemáticos. Aunque desarrolló sus composiciones musicales y sonoras a partir de la década de los 80, esta es la única obra publicada hasta la fecha por Doñate. Una composición en cuatro partes que muestra una personalidad artística única, y que sirve para hacernos a la idea de un corpus de obra de la cual, por desgracia, sólo podemos disfrutar de la punta del iceberg.

Esta edición comprende además del disco doble, textos sobre la vida y obra de Doñate escritas por Juan Jose Aranguren y Alex Mendizabal así como una impresión del canon de Aranguren.

Gliss es la primera referencia de A(RR) EDIZIOAK subsello de ELSA records comisariado por AUDIOLAB (www.audio-lab.org).
