H o r a t i u R A D U L E S C U
was born on the 7th of January 1942 in Bucharest, RomaniaHe has been living in Paris since ’69 where he became a French citizen in ’74.
• He first studied violin with Nina Alexandrescu, a disciple of George Enescu and Jacques Thibaud.
• 1969 MA in Composition, “premier nommé”, at the High School of Music in Bucharest; professors :
Tiberiu Olah (composition), Stefan Niculescu (analysis), Aurel Stroe (orchestration, formalized music).
• From ’70 to’72 he participated in courses for new music in Cologne ( Mauricio Kagel, Luc Ferrari)
and Darmstadt (John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti).
• From ’79 to’81 he visited the Paris IRCAM for sessions in computer-assisted composition and psycho-acoustics.
•1988/89 composer in residence of the DAAD in Berlin.
• From ’89 to’90 he composed in San Francisco, Venice and Rome
thanks to a French "Villa Medici" Fellowship.
• 1992 he was awarded the French "Sabbatical Year Grant” for composition.
•1968-69 he founded the “spectral technique of composition” .
This comprises variable distribution of the spectral energy - "spectrum pulse", synthesis of the global sound-sources,
micro- and macro-form as sound-process, four simultaneous layers of perception and of speed, spectral scordaturae - ie rows of unequal intervals corresponding to harmonic scales, for example:
opus 10 credo (’69) for nine violoncelli (55´) where 4170 timbre-processes integrate the first 45 spectral components of a C-fundamental - "emanation of the immanence" and
opus 33 "infinite to be cannot be infinite / infinite anti-be could be infinite" (’76 - ’87) for nine string quartets (49´) where 128 different spectral components inbetween the 36th and the 641st harmonic build the scordatura of an imaginary "viola da gamba" (the 128 strings of the 8 quartets around the audience), while the ninth quartet,in the centre of the space, is modulating inbetween 27 spectra : the strict tuning of each micro-music is a function of its own duration, achieving thus - for the first time - an absolute interdependence between pitch (spectrum tuning) and time (duration) - released Feb..2002 on CD Edition RZ 4002 Berlin/DAAD – Arditti String Quartet of London / Paris Ircam production.
