About Me |
|
| Vladimír Hirsch is a composer working with new forms of contemporary
classical, dark ambient and ambient industrial music. His creative direction
aims toward the modern form of classical music. Through the instrumentation
and exploitation of new sonic characteristics created by the force of
digital techniques upon classical instruments and the integration of these
sounds into ambient structures, his music characterizes the contemporary
post-industrial likeness of our world. Through these techniques, Hirsch strives to reach an organic incorporation of seemingly distinct and irreconcilable elements into a living form which he calls INTEGRATED MUSIC. These principles represent the central idea of his work, which rests in the collision of two spiritually opposite worlds inside an individual. The author refuses the broadly accepted materialistic and anthropocentric view of the world and challenges the spiritual repression brought about by humanities transcendental nescience. To the question of why his music is so dark, Hirsch answers, „I don..t reason about in similar categories. It is the subject of the slant, addictions or standards of individual perception. The artist can nothing else, than search for meaning of life, for its matter, disregarding what will be and without pretension to its fruition. For what remains the substance of light does not exists without the dark. I am in conviction that my music wants to be first an authentic scan of my mind. I reject all kinds of pinchbeck affirmation and optimism. It fills me up more darkness than the blackest expression of despair.” OPUSES Main works : SYNTHETICS - THEMES, op.17, experimental space-ambient SYMPHONY No.1 in E, Op.20; symphony for synthesizers ORGAN PIECES; organ compositions 7 PARTS OF DESOLATION, op.29; piano cycle INTERMEZZA, op.37; piano compositions SIMPLICITY OF HERESY, op.37; suite for integrated ensemble SYMPHONY No.2 „Defensa", op.47, symphony for integrated orchestra CONCERT INDUSTRIEL POUR ORGUE, op.49 SYMPHONY No.3 „Brands Of Tyrany", op.52; symphony for integrated orchestra, organ, percussions and mezzosoprano DIVERTIMENTO No.1 & 2, HYMNUS No.2; orchestral compositions SENSE GEOMETRY, op.54; experimental thematic opus DANCES & MARCHES, op.57; suite for organ, piano and orchestra EXORCISMS, op.61b; suite for integrated ensemble SYMPHONY No.4 „Descent From The Gross“, op.67; symphony for integrated orchestra, soloists and choir DE REGIONIBUS LIMINIS, op.68, thematic dark ambient work FRAGMENTS, THÈMES ET IMAGES SCÉNIQUES, op.72; scenic music NONTERRA, op.73; suite for integrated ensemble LES SCÈNES ARDENTES, op.75, thematic album CONTEMPLATIO PER NEXUS, op.77, composition for integrated techniques on the selected theme from "Teologia spiritualis II.

Musicians: Czech integrated ensemble and choir, cond. by author. Soloists: Vladimír Hirsch-pianos, keyboards, digital technique, programming, Martina Sanollová, Dominika Karcovská - vocals. Produced by Tom Saivon. Cover artwork: Jan Vávra. Part I: After Expiry Part II: Night Under The Gross Part III: The Descent Part IV: The Pass From Golgota Part V: Entombment Part VI: Apotheosis Part VII: Marc VI/16 Thematic work, inspired originally by Dostoevski’s interpretation of Hans Holbein..s painting of the same name. “It is a polemic with his questioning of the Christian faith in Christ’s resurrection, since the level of cogency in portraying a truly dead body is strikingly exposed in the work of the German artist. Also because of this the symphony may be understood as a sort of filling of the gap between Christ’s death and laying into the grave, i.e. the process, which is not given much space in the bible. The author is trying to create a deeply immersed, painful perception here, dominated by uncertainty and doubt, but through the belief in spiritual strength inclined to hope and strife for the fulfilling of the faith’s thesis. In expressive terms the work combines expressive means ranging from classical to ambient and noise, in a totality which up to now represents the author’s concept of the so-called integrated musical form the best.“ (excerpt from the review by Jan Blanicky) Since September 2006 has been stepwise released the collection of 7 Vladimír Hirsch solo works, partially separately, partially as a box set with the name "THE ASSENT TO PARADOXON". The set includes following albums: SENSE GEOMETRY, CONCERT INDUSTRIEL POUR ORGUE, SYMPHONY No.4, NONTERRA, LES SCENES ARDENTES, EXORCISMS and CONTEMPLATIO PER NEXUS by Italian independent label Ars Benevola Mater PROJECTS: Vladimír Hirsch..s work is represented not only by his solo projects - he is founder and leader of avantgarde orchestral industrial and dark-ambient music ensembles AGHIATRIAS (Vladimír Hirsch, Tom Saivon), SKROL (Vladimír Hirsch, Martina Sanollová, Tom Saivon), LUMINAR AX (Vladimír Hirsch, Dove Hermosa) and ZYGOTE (Vladimír Hirsch, Martina Sanollová). AGHIATRIAS In 1999 Vladimír Hirsch (composition, keyboards, vocals, computer) and Tom Saivon (noise generator, computer, lyrics) joined their creative efforts in this project, which is a kind of extrapolation and the combination of contemporary classical (Hirsch) and noise (Saivon) tendencies, which was eventually, through mutual infiltration by basic theses and antitheses, brought to life as a fully homogenous structure by both members of the group. FIELD MASS, mass for integrated enseble, version 1 EPIDAEMIA VANITATIS, thematic album REGIONS OF LIMEN, thematic album ETHOS, thematic album RELIQUARY, selected compositions SKROL The ensemble SKROL was formed in 1995. Their inspiration derives mainly from Slavic melodic and harmonic techniques, reflecting the pursuit of proper ethnical musical roots, i.e. also music, which is founded on these traditions. This direction aims rather at the modern form of classical music, both through the instrumentation and exploitation of sound possibilities and through its integration into ambient structures, characteristic for the contemporary post-industrial likeness of the world. MARTYRIA, 10" vinyl HERETICAL ANTIPHONY, integrated conceptual album INSOMNIA DEI, album DANCES & MARCHES FOR THE ORPHAN AGE, integrated suite, album LUMINAR AX LUMINAR AX is a conjoint experimental project between Vladimír Hirsch and American singer and poet Dove Hermosa, founded in the summer of 2007. It represents integration of dark ambient and dark industrial components with rock structure of composition. Dove Hermosa & Vladimír Hirsch are contemporarily have finished their first fully conceptual album "Optem Spectris" and working on two next titles "Beyond The Waves Of Desire" and !Out Of The Ax". OPTEM SPECTRIS BEYOND THE WAVES OF DESIRE, conceptual album OUT OF THE AX, album of remixes ZYGOTE In 1998 Vladimír Hirsch founded ZYGOTE project, when he composed a large collection of compositions, where the fictive, geometric symbolism of certain mechanisms of the human psyche is applied. The author calls this musical form of mathematical theory “fractal musical geometry”. Zygote was originally a solo project, thanks to its successful stage presentation with vocalist Martina Sanollová and different creative orientation it was constituted as a detachment. GEOMETRIE NEVEDOMÍ, experimental conceptual album COOPERATIONS: EPIDEMIC MIND, conjoint album with Japanese cyberpunk writer Kenji Siratori (will be released by Italian label Ars Benevola Mater). .. |

Music:Member Since: 7/7/2007Band Website: vladimirhirsch.com Band Members: VLADIMÍR HIRSCH has been composing since teen age, when, as pianist and organ player, he started to compose small romantic and classicist compositions for these instruments. Soon, though, he abandons these compositions for a longer period and takes up experimental rock music in various formations. In 1987 he decided to focus on classical musical form as well, nevertheless with an attempt to enhance the action potential by modern means of expression and by searching for specific processes. He attempts to resume the tradition of 20th century Czech and other Slavic music, but eventually attains his own clear-cut position both in tone creative principles as in composition style and opinion on orchestration and the role of not quite musical components in it.
