?Corporel - Vinko Globokar

Of Slovenian heritage, Vinko Globokar started out as a jazz trombonist and later studied composition with René Leibowitz (an important Schoenberg disciple) and Luciano Berio. He has developed a body of work – quite literally so in ?Corporel – based on improvisation and extended technique. French for “having to do with the body”, ?Corporel strips down the familiar Romantic idea of the suffering artist and takes it to a raw extreme. The premise appears simple: Globokar has the shirtless percussionist use his own body as an instrument, hitting, beating, thwacking, and wordlessly vocalizing. Patterns of sound and gesture are built from what seems to be self-inflicted pain, keeping us transfixed even as we flinch. Is this a form of madness? Or perhaps the performer is split in two, enacting torture visited on him by an unseen sinister force – or its memory, stamped on his body and repeated in grotesque rituals of internalized punishment. At the same time, his gestures, percussive and vocal, generate an oddly compelling sense of authentic expression, one not filtered through convention. The performer is, after all, agent and instrument, subject and object: “playing” himself. Ultimately, though, it’s through the tension between the premeditated shape of the performance and its spontaneous-seeming execution that Globokar holds us captive, whether we react with bemusement, concern, or outrage. ~ Los Angeles Philharmonic, Music and Musicians Database ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ One day in March I was in a lesson with professor Bill Cahn working on this piece. He asked me, “What does this piece mean?” My response was the program notes that you see above. In response to that, he said, “Well, yes. But what does this piece mean?” I stood there, extraordinarily puzzled, thinking that I had just told him! But as we started talking, developing more and more ideas, it clicked. A piece of music, although composed with an idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best idea for the performer. Yes, the piece “strips down the familiar Romantic idea of the suffering artist and takes it to a raw extreme”, however my interpretation is about the realization that you are the music, not the instrument. Although one may play a violin or a marimba to make music, the music doesn’t come from the instrument, it comes from you. This, personally, is what Globokar’s piece represents. ?Corporel is the journey of a man finding out he is stripped of his instrument, experiencing the psychological torture that brings him, and slowly coming to the realization that he is fine with that, realizing the music comes not from his instrument but from within himself. The performance of this piece is dedicated to Bill Cahn, for expanding my interests and ‘Cahn-cepts’ on music much farther than I thought they could go. ~ Jarryd Elias ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Jarryd Elias' Senior Recital Playlist:    • Jarryd Elias - Senior Percussion Recital
