Øyvind Torvund - Untitled School
Øyvind Torvund's Untitled School brings together an array of sounds from instruments, homemade apparatus, household objects, and samples.
Øyvind Torvund's Untitled School deftly brings together the sounds of standard instruments (pianos, guitar, a large cymbal), non-standard ones (whistles, ocarina, harmonicas), homemade apparatus, household objects (a milk steamer and a plastic bottle) and samples.
The first section, “Scales,” made of upward arpeggios that are all similar but not identical, interspersed with other material including twinkling broken chords and downward scales, as promised.
“Textures” is made of staccato notes on the pianos in the shadow of sampled sounds, and again there is similarity but difference all through.
“Chords” has features from both predecessors, along with, indeed, crashing chords and passages of rapid iteration.
“Imitations” pays homage in turn to Rimsky Korsakov’s Scheherazad, Liszt’s Faust Symphony, Strauss’s Don Quixote, Ravel’s Ma Mère l’oye and Scriabin’s Poème d’extase.
“Jungles” has appropriate noises both recorded and simulated, along with a chord sequence on guitar and other additions.
