The enthusiasm from the talents we contacted resulted in a total of fifteen performers who contributed with a varied instrumentation, which included a tuba, cello, clarinet, laptop, portable radios and a photosensitive oscillator, among others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Okay&#8230; but what kind of music is it?&#8221; asks the manager of the Santo Domingo Church to Nicol\u00e1s Carrasco, who was seeking authorization to perform this piece at this place. Nicol\u00e1s tries to explain that this music, which sometimes is not even recognized as such, when being executed might be almost imperceptible, indistinguishable from the everyday silence of the place, and taking a poetic license, defined it as a colored silence. And so it was, because the silent worshipers, lost tourists, friendly passengers, respectful passers-by and restless children who were in the Church of Santo Domingo that hot afternoon, witnessed, some unknowingly, the subtle colors which painted for sixty minutes the impressive deep peace and introspection of a place full of reverb and a majestic spiritual mysticism.<br \/>\n\u00c1lvaro Ortega Hamel<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the players<br \/>\nDiego Aguirre, Santiago Astaburuaga, Ed\u00e9n Carrasco, Nicol\u00e1s Carrasco,\u00a0\u2028Christian Del\u00f3n, Ra\u00fal D\u00edaz, Isidora Edwards, Renzo Filinich,\u2028Fernando Godoy, Sebasti\u00e1n Jatz Rawicz, Marcelo Maira, Mat\u00edas Mardones,\u00a0\u2028Juan Ignacio Morales, Alvaro Ortega and Benjam\u00edn Vergara.<\/p>\n<p>the instruments<br \/>\nguitar, double bass, clarinet in Bb, electromechanic violin, bugle,\u2028electromechanic object, cello, laptop, photosensitive oscillator,\u00a0\u2028cup &amp; ball game, bass flute, cymbal, feedbacked eolic harp,\u00a0\u2028radio and bombardino tuba.<\/p>\n<p>place<br \/>\nSanto Domingo church, Santiago, Chile<\/p>\n<p>date<br \/>\n28th of January 2011<\/p>\n<p>time<br \/>\nfrom 17:00 to 18:05<\/p>\n<p>duration<br \/>\n65 minutes<\/p>\n<p>the audience<br \/>\nparishioners, occasional passers-by, relatives and friends.<\/p>\n<p>portraits by<br \/>\nRonald Patrick<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>audio &#8211; recorded on 3 Zoom H4n along the church&#8217;s nave; edited by NCD<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/embed\/MichaelPisaro-AnUnrhymedChord\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"40\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>work an unrhymed chord author Michael Pisaro year 2003 &nbsp; description The piece an unrhymed chord by Michael Pisaro, a score obtained thanks to the generous support of the musical &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[14,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1091,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions\/1091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/et-musica.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
