Miniata Synaxis is music for an impossible liturgy, an imaginary gathering of praying monks where the tropes of polyphony have been sabotaged by an exuberant xenharmonic compositional style. These twenty-six miniatures – or rather, ‘vespers’ – have been written for a physical model of an organ Riccardo Ancona designed to be controlled through a live coding environment.

Anneli Kokko’s production revolves around noise tuning, a process she sees as a therapeutic discipline: ‘Whereas most of composers conceive harmony as a sum of elements, I think that as a selection process: a purification. By filtering chaos, it is possible to reach any kind of harmony. My activity is to find and classify the infinite harmonic relationships that can be discovered in the depths of pure noise, tracing gradients of order’.

‘Mark Fell has been an extremely influential artist during my formative years. His conception of time disclosed many creative ideas to deal with rhythmic patterns in algorithmic music; that’s why I decided to dedicate this series of snippets to him. Sharpness, rugosity, and formal unevenness in clear gestalts are what thrills me most as a listener, therefore they have become the prominent features of my approach to microsound’.

Geophaga's works employ algorithmic procedures with the aim of understanding human experiences through a different sonic lens. The same arc made of swarms of ‘digital mosquitoes’ recur over and over through different harmonies, as a persistent thought that intoxicates the senses. ‘Listening to these tracks still makes me very uncomfortable, yet I think they are able to depict the nauseated feeling of waking up every day and not matching your expectations’.

Syntagma is a selection of microscopic compositions stemming from the same algorithmic blueprint.
‘I’ve always been interested in working with such a constrained temporal limit’ – told us Kuhn Kuhn – ‘a lot of things can be expressed by slightly variating few parameters, while keeping the same overall structure among the variations. It is an extremely fascinating process of discovery’.

‘Data murmurs. It is just a matter of directing our attention towards it’. With these words, Ipomea Violacea invites us to listen to her algorithmic fragments, inaugurating the Miniature Recs formula.
