La Teoría Sagrada del Espacio Acústico / Sacred Theory of the Acoustic Space - Book I
OSCAR EDELSTEIN / ENSEMBLE NATIONAL DEL SUR
A highly successful series of concerts in Latin America between 2000 and 2004 finally led to the recording of the work in 2004. As Edelstein noted in the interview, "Salir del Laboratorio" (Escape from the Laboratory) with music critic Federico Monjeau, (Clarín), "The Sacred Theory of the Acoustic Space - Book I" in part refers to his preoccupation with the dimension of working with a sense of space - something that is not necessarily new in music or unique to contemporary composition, but as Edelstein highlights, is music that considers the 3 dimensional space whether that be German composer, Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Gruppen", or indeed the line that can be drawn back to the acoustic experimentations during Venetian Baroque such as the construction of cathedrals apt for choirs or whispered conversations.

Sacred Theory of the Acoustic Space - Book I is the first part of a Trilogy composed, written, and directed by Oscar Edelstein. This trilogy is made up by the Acoustic Grid - Book II and The Light in Shadows of Your Dead Eyes - Book III.
"The Sacred Theory of the Acoustic Space - Book I is the artistic result of a research work and creation that involves - among other things - the test of dynamic control of the acoustic space and the artificial, illusory, notions it supposes". OE
Notes: The complete work was recorded in real time according to the musicians stage performance, following the indications in the score, and without any processes of edition or assembling. The resulting spacial structures are the product of the development of timbrical, rhythms and/or dynamic curves produced by the performers, placed in fixed positions. The piece uses its own system of 3D notation, which includes a non-conventional musical conducting code.
