    The Golden Sunshine
    Der Körper im Stresstest der KunstDer chinesische Künstler He Yunchang (geb. 1967 in Kunming, lebt und arbeitet in Peking) absolvierte 1991 das Central Yunnan Art Institute und machte sich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten mit einer Reihe außergewöhnlicher Performances einen Namen. So ließ er sich 24 Stunden lang in Beton eingießen, versuchte - an einem Kran hängend - einen Fluss mit seinem eigenen Blut in zwei Hälften zu teilen, brannte sich sein Gewand vom Leib, verharrte mitten in den Niagarafällen oder ließ sich einen Rippenbogen entfernen. Immer war sein Körper der wesentliche Teil seiner künstlerischen Praxis. Nichts scheint als Ausdrucksmittel zu schwierig. Was auf den ersten Blick als mutige Stunts erscheinen mag, entpuppt sich jedoch schnell als zutiefst analytisches und hochreferenzielles Kunstwerk, das existenzielles Denken mit traditioneller chinesischer Mythologie und antiker Philosophie verbindet, aber auch auf die Kunst der österreichischen Aktionisten wie etwa Günter Brus oder auf das aufsehenerregende Duo Ulay und Marina Abramovic verweist.Die von Ai Weiwei kuratierte Ausstellung im Francisco Carolinum in Linz ist He Yunchangs erste umfassende Retrospektive im deutschsprachigen Raum und wird begleitet von einem umfangreichen Katalog, der seine Praxis anhand von Texten von Ai Weiwei, Freda Fiala, Nataline Colonnello, Wang Fen, He Yunchang und Alfred Weidinger in die Tradition der körperbezogenen Aktions- und Performancekunst einordnet.The Body in the Stress Test of ArtThe Chinese artist He Yunchang (b. Kunming, 1967; lives and works in Beijing), who graduated from the Central Yunnan Art Institute in 1991, has made a name for himself over the past two decades with a series of extraordinary performances. He had himself immured in a concrete cast and stayed inside it for 24 hours; tried to divide a river into two halves with his own blood while suspended from a crane; burnt his attire off his body; paused halfway down the Niagara Falls; or had a costal arch removed. In all these works, his body figured as the central medium of his creative practice; no means of expression seems too challenging for him. What may appear at first glance like stunts and tests of courage soon reveal themselves to be profoundly analytical and richly referential works of art that intertwine existential thinking with traditional Chinese mythology, legends, and ancient philosophy, while also gesturing toward the art of the Austrian Actionists like Günter Brus or the duo Ulay und Marina Abramovic's spectacular pieces.Curated by Ai Weiwei, the exhibition at the Francisco Carolinum, Linz, isHe Yunchang's first comprehensive retrospective in the German-speaking countries and accompanied by an extensive catalogue with essays by Ai Weiwei, Freda Fiala, Nataline Colonnello, Wang Fen, He Yunchang, and Alfred Weidinger that embed his practice in the tradition of body-centered action and performance art.

    De la Noche
    ERNESTO GARCIA DE LEON (1952- ) Ernesto Garcia De Leon can be considered as one of the most innovative, creative and imaginative composers alive today. His influences which range from The Beatles to Mahler, nature sounds to Mexican folk songs have shaped his harmonic language to bring to live a language as unique and distinct as those of Debussy and Scriabin. He has unique ability to bring to live music that can be described as otherworldly and totally inspired (not formulaic ), this music on repeated listening easily becomes intoxicating. The Preludes and nocturnes recorded on this CD represent some of Ernesto's most exquisite and inspired writing for the Solo guitar. These pieces draw the listener and the performer into the private secrete and sacred sound world of the composer. Here all is sound, the Gods of music speak the secretes of life and creation to us in gentle sound that seem to ascend and descend in varying degrees of tone colors, until we become a part of that sound itself....sometimes this brings to mind the Scientific discovery of the theory of everything .... "The String Theory" where everything in the universe is sound waves. To enjoy these pieces it is best to suspend all preconceptions of sound and Music and allow the music to speak to you in it's sublime and effulgent language of beauty, joy and timelessness. To enjoy these pieces it is best to suspend all preconceptions of sound and Music and allow the music to speak to you in it's sublime and effulgent language of beauty, joy and timelessness. De La Noche (Nocturnal) -Fantasy No.2, Opus 20 is an extended concert work in four seasons depicting a tropical night. It is an evocation of warm and sonorous nocturnal noises and sensations, luminous nostalgic moonlight, and a brilliant, improvised costal dance. Dos Piezas (Two Pieces), Opus 24 are a prelude and son in a happy and nostalgic mood. It was written in 1987 for the composer's recital in the "Fifteenth International Cervantino Festival" in Guanajuanto, Mexico, where he premiered it. Preludio y Toccata, Opus 25 features two movements- the first poetic and lyrical, the second dramatic and rhythmic. It was commissioned by it's dedicatee, the superb Mexican guitarist Roberto Limon, who had it published in the English magazine "Guitar International." Veinticuatro Preludios (Twenty-four Preludes), Opus 37: Por una Calle de Camaguey (19). In a dream, I was walking down an unknown and unidentified street with someone. I saw it was my Cuban friend Martin Pedreira-composer and guitarist. Therefore, I deduced I was in Cuba, in the city of Camaguey. That day, when I awoke, I composed this piece. Martin is one of my favorite composers. I believe he and I have many things in common. The characteristic features of this piece have a lot to do with the music of Cuba and the Caribbean in general and Martin's music in particular. Observando Sombras (2.Watching Shadows) was composed when I was thinking about an old practice of the ancient Mexican shamans or sorcerers that has lasted until our times- the practice of observing the shadows all around things. This results in an altered state of perception that allows one to see reality in a different way. It is dedicated to my dear friend Alexander Mendez, a fine and open-minded guitarist. Son para Desarmar (8. Dance to Take Apart) has elements and passages of the "Son" in the Prelude and Son No.2, Opus 30 for two guitars that I composed for Roberto Limon and Jaime Marquez, and which is a "son" which can be played as is or by interchanging it's sections as if you were taking it apart. It has a free part in which improvisation is invited. Grupos de Maranones (21. Groups of Cashew Trees) contains themes from the Tropical Suite, Opus 17, especially from the second movement "Maranon." In the jungle, trees growing in groups of the same family unify and beautify their surroundings. This piece is dedicated to the Veracruz guitarist Enrique Salmeron. Observando Distancias (16. Watching Distances) is another development of "2. Watching Clouds." This piece is dedicated to my friend Elben Macari, one of my favorite composers. His music does something special to me. It seems to have a unique freshness and spontaneity. Perhaps it could be catalogued as "New Age" or "Techno-Etno." Un Regalo de Poder (7. A Gift of Power) is dedicated to the Polish guitarist Miroslaw Franczak. This prelude is not about power, not that of western civilization, but instead that of the ancient aboriginal people of our lands, which they conceived of as an entity in the environment capable of manifesting in our favor, giving gifts. Miroslaw lived in Mexico for two years and experienced many good things. I told him he had been given a "gift of power." Preludio para Adriana, Opus 26 This sweet page of music written in 1988 was inspired by and written for Adrianna del Angel who performed a piece by Garcia de Leon in a recital of the students of Alfredo Rovelo. The day after the recital, the composer presented the Prelude to it's dedicatee and later that year he premiered Opus 26 as an encore to a recital he played in the Manuel Maria Ponce Hall in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. MANUEL MARIA PONCE (1882 -1948) Manuel Ponce is one of the major influences in the world of 20th century guitar music. His collaboration with the great Spanish guitar virtuoso Andres Segovia who helped extend the guitar repertoire a great deal, his output included works for solo guitar, duos with harpsichord and even a guitar concerto. We owe much of these works to the prompting by Andres Segovia who himself revolutionalized the Art of playing guitar by moving away from the dry metronomic repetition of written notes into a world of limitless possibilities where technical prowess surrenders to the imagination to create poetry, intimacy and freshness. Sonata III must have been completed about mid 1927, the Segovia edition on which this recording is based was first published by B. Schott in 1928. The first movement has a rather neo-romantic character that is reminiscent of Chopin's op35 sonata for piano. The second movement is a song, very simple and modal, similar to the theme of the Sonata for Harpsichord and Guitar by Ponce. The third movement is caste in the style of the French Harpsichordist where the main theme is repeated after every episode, though French in form the theme used is Spanish in character. In a letter to Ponce Segovia wrote about this Sonata .... ".....All the Sonata is quite beautiful and it is an important work for the Guitar, the Artist and the Musician. I thank you wholeheartedly..." ---Andres Segovia TORU TAKEMITSU (1930- 1996) Maestro Takemitsu, a Tokyo Born self taught musician had this to say about music. " Music is either Sound or Silence. As long as I live I shall choose sound As something to confront a silence. That sound should be a single Strong sound" --Toru Takemitsu (1962) This concept of music is obvious in his compositional output. Very careful and imaginative treatment of sound, silence, color and space. In his music you can almost always perceive a certain spaciousness that flows gently like water. Takemitsu's innate understanding of the guitar is evidence from his many compositions for the instrument and his association and friendship with Leo Brouwer(a living legend of the Guitar). Takemitsu is also known for his ability to properly blend Eastern and Western harmonies to create a new exciting composition. The music on this CD is one such example where Takemitsu transcribed various popular western songs (12 of them)for the Classical guitar. The result is mesmerizing. Secrete Love was original composed by Sammy Fain. This transcription employed the use of harmonics pitted against natural notes on the guitar and special fingering positions for exact timbral effects to create a wonderful sense of nostalgia, simply beautiful. CARLO PEZZIMENTI: Since beginning his study of classical guitar in Florence, Italy at the age of
