«A Chinese Triptych »
Juan Carlos Vasquez
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“A Chinese Triptych” was composed with recordings from an extensive sound documentary made by the artist in the Chinese cities of Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Wuxi, Harbin, and Beijing during 2017. The piece overlaps sonic events from the rural, the industrial and the digital China in a single flowing musical discourse, attempting to represent the full range of highly contrasting ways of living in China. The piece lasts exactly 6 minutes, a number that is given in China the connotation of events “flowing smoothly”.
The form and proportion of the parts are inspired by the triptych, an art format comprised of three thematically-interrelated parts in which the middle panel is usually the largest. “A Chinese Triptych” features an experimental application in acousmatic music of the motivic-through composition technique, also known as thematic development.

My name is Juan Carlos Vasquez, I’m a Colombian composer nowadays working at the University of Virginia in the United States. I composed “A Chinese Triptych” after a month-long trip to discover China’s impressive variety of soundscapes, which motivate me to do an extensive amount of recordings in the cities of Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Wuxi, Harbin, and Beijing during 2017. Later at home, I superimposed them, reorganized them, and merge them into a single, flowing composition.
