Mattias Petersson
debuts on the Swiss label Hallow Ground with
Triangular Progressions
, a suite in nine parts written entirely in the SuperCollider environment using additive synthesis. By exploring the harmonic progressions found hiding within the triangle,
Triangular Progressions
at once emits a sense of introspective calm that fosters deep listening and evokes a whole spectrum of emotions, mediating between the abstract and the visceral. The Stockholm-based Petersson, also known under the moniker
Codespira1
and for his long-term collaboration with violinist
George Kentros
as
There Are No More Four Seasons
, has been active as a composer of computer music as well as an artist in the realms of live coding and modular synthesis for over two decades. Originally trained as a classical pianist, he also holds a diploma in electro-acoustic composition from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where he currently works as an associate professor. Besides his activities as a musician and teacher, Petersson is pursuing a PhD in composition at the LuleƄ University of Technology. Researching modular systems comprising both human and non-human modules, he is part of the GEMM))) Gesture Embodiment and Machines in Music cluster.
Triangular Progressions
can be considered a perfect synthesis of Petersson's academic interests and aesthetic ideas, combining a mathematical approach with artistic rigor. The magic number triangle highlights the beauty of symmetrical properties. By exploring its idiosyncrasies, the composer manages to translate them into engaging sounds. The lush melodies and harmonies of the music at times call to mind the intimate organ and drone works by label mates
Kali Malone
and
Maria W Horn
while also maintaining a unique signature sound. The addition of pure sinusoidal waves enables a deep listening exploration of the counterpoint between melodic and harmonic rhythms, chord structures and spectral harmonies that Petersson extrapolates from those magic numbers.
