FINIS TERRAE: Sounds from the End of the World
The musical Exchange project FINIS TERREA between five chilean composers and the Ensemble Musikfabrik allows us an insight view into the still growing New Music Scene in Chile. The title FINIS TERRAE points to a certain geographic exclusion Chiles far away from the international events. In spite of its also historical isolation, the country has brought up again and again new impulses in different art disciplines. Through the global networking the presence of chilean artists, who expose their work in foreign countries, has gradually augmented in the last decades. This CD presents the works of the chilean composers Alejandro Guarello, Boris Alvarado, Ramón Gorigoitia, Pablo Aranda and Aliocha Solovera, a commission from Siemens Music Fundation, which were premiered by Ensemble Musikfabrik in a concert on November 11th 2015 at the Chamber Hall of Deutschlandfunk Broadcasting in Cologne, Germany. For the support of the FINIS TERRAE Project and the production of this CD we like to express our gratitude to the Siemens Musikstiftung, DIRAC, the District government of Cologne, Deutschlandfunk Radio, the Catholic University in Santiago and Valparaíso, the chilean Artist Network INOCA e.V. and the musical Fund from the chilean Ministry of culture, CNCA
