about

“Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and random motion.”
HARVARD NATURAL SCIENCES LECTURE DEMONSTRATIONS

The music of Octavi Rumbau exploits the possibility of creating self-generating material from minimal premises. Organically regular patterns proliferate in the form of processes of increasing or decreasing complexity (following the lead of "Phases" by Steve Reich, or "Poème Symphonique" for "100 metronomes" by György Ligeti) in which certain elements circulate freely within pre-programmed parameters. The perception of time is, indubitably, changed and transformed, released from ends-driven purposes, offering a glimpse of the possibility of a vertical, malleable time. We could say, in fact, that the passage of time and the alteration of perception are the two core elements in Octavi Rumbau’s conception of music.

Recorded in 3D format for sound installations (5.4.1), surround sound (5.1) and stereo (2.0). World Premiere Recording

The physical edition of Pendular Motion includes a CD, a 28 pages booklet with liner notes by Jordi Alomar, and a code to download the HD version of the album (24bit and 96kHz) in stereo and 5.1 surround formats.
