About
Sofie went in search of pieces from the solo lute repertoire that she intuitively associated with the various phases of the text. This resulted in a recital with a surprising palette of colours, styles and atmospheres. At times she chose the rich, powerful sound of the theorbo. At others she chose the fragile, hushed sound of the Renaissance lute. The Prelude by the French baroque composer Robert de Visée combines phrases full of grandeur with breathing pauses filled with intimate doubt. The music of John Dowland draws on the typically English penchant for melancholy. In the fantasias and ricercars of Francesco da Milano, it is not only the bright colours of the Italian Renaissance that resound, but also the constant search for a new beginning. Luis de Narváez's Canción del emperador is an arrangement for lute of the famous chanson Mille regretz by Josquin Desprez, a song that emanates serene regret for everything that is not. And in Robert de Visée's Chaconne the same chord sequence revolves around its own axis. Hope, tenderness, revolt and acceptance each step to the fore in turn.
At Sofie's request, Vladimir Gorlinsky created a new composition, one which reflects the state of mind in the middle of a burnout. Vanishing Point balances on the edge of total emptiness, a stagnation that at times is hard to bear. Vanishing Point starts out from this stagnation to explore the different facets of burnout: resistance and acceptance, fear and hope, stagnation and movement, absolute solitude and the desire to interact again with the surrounding world. Vanishing Point / Verdwijntijd can be listened to in different ways: not only as a lute recital, but also as a radio play with voice, lute and soundscapes. Annemarie Peeters's text was recorded by actress Katelijne Damen (NL) and voice artist Caroline Daish (EN). Vladimir Gorlinsky created soundscapes based on the sounds of the lute, which were magnified as if under a microscope. The soundscapes weave themselves between the text and the lute music. Jo Thielemans created the sound design and provided the live electronics.
