Well, I do not think that that’ musicality in its eccentric form might be more or less “orchestrated”, after all, what we get from music into its “ultimacy” has no projection (at least to me) to it’s sonic rendering. However, I have to admit, that large “orchestrated wonks” have own interest.

I tend to see the orchestrated successes of today’s orchestras as more or less accident. Sure, it greatly depending from the qualification of the musicians but in the nowadays music making ceremony the “unanimity” of orchestral expression is greatly reduced and this level of unanimity greatly varies, almost varies randomly and accidental. In the past, 50 years back, there were periods when orchestras had own sonic unity: Philadelphia, Boston, Berlin, Leningrad, Vienna (that has it partiality even now). Nowadays, however, (because multiple reasons) orchestras sound with no expressive, tonal or harmonic consistency and therefore what I appreciate in collective or the orchestrated efforts might be found only “out of the blue” in orchestrated music.

So, what I’m looking for in the orchestrated music, or to say more correctly: what I’m looking in the orchestrated Sound? I am usually looking for what I “lost” 8 years ago.  8 years ago I found in Boston MFA an amassing sculpture that hunts for years. Unfortunately the MFA took it down and after then I was not able to find any trace of it. It was a large installation in the Oceanic Art Section. It was a long, perhaps 8-9 feet long, wood or clay made canoe-like boat with 2 dozen or so figures in the boat, frozen in their forcefully move to row the boat. The most amazing thing was that the figures were not just naked Polynesians seamen but men, women, children, Gods, and different type of fish. Everyone held the puddles in the way they could but all of them were engaged in the same “unanimized” rowing endeavor…

So, in orchestrated Sound I pretty much looking for exactly the same: the uniqueness of individuality and ability to composite the best of the individuality into united results. Rare happens, great benefits when it does…
