#virtrav
The "VirTrav Series" is a challenge from Buckminster to Buckminster on the theme of "speed": a composition a week lasting about one minute, composed and recorded in less than one hour on iPad, inspired by places and people in a kind of virtual musical journey.
These weekly compositions are organized in cycles of 12, each focusing on a "theme". Compositions, one for each note, move in different ways (circle of fourths, ascending half step, circle of fifth, descending half step, ...).
The concept of "speed", which inspires and shapes this work, comes from Italo Calvino's "Six Memos For The Next Millennium" (1988), whose intuitions are, according to Buckminster, very current and adaptable to music as well. The cycles of compositions such as “Moving Forward” can be looped, sound-reinforce everyday life. They never resolve and continue to move. Even the individual compositions are designed to be reiterated and maintain their own autonomy despite the reduced duration.
"VirTrav" is a constantly evolving project: every week a new composition is recorded and shared on Buckminster social channels in raw form, without revisions or editing.
Thus, speed serves to drastically reduce distances, to immediately collect ideas and comments on the direction taken and, in the spirit of Buckminster, to enhance authenticity and purity; not aiming for the "perfection" of today's musical productions, but building something certainly more raw, perhaps more alive, which brings us closer to the imperfect condition of humanity and distances us from the cold perfection of machines.
So join #virtrav (which stands for Virtual Traveling) follow Buckminster on Instagram (fb4r_), YouTube (BuckminsterFb4r) or Facebook (buckminstermusic) and, with your comments and likes, "quickly" help him to shape his sound.
