Hora harmonica
ANTS
AG 02 CD 1970

L’applicazione di criteri musicali all’organizzazione del tempo.
“Se rallentiamo un suono continuo molte volte, fino a farlo scendere al di sotto dei 15 Hz ca., lo percepiamo come una sequenza di impulsi discreti. Fisicamente rimane un suono, ma non è più tale per la percezione umana. Immaginiamo ora un 'suono' lentissimo, la cui fondamentale abbia un periodo di 60 minuti. Le 'armoniche' - virtuali - saranno dei sottomultipli del periodo fondamentale, dunque: 30', 20', 15', e così via. Questo è il principio di costruzione di HORA HARMONICA” (Albert Mayr)
In Hora Harmonica l’autore trasforma il suono in ritmo ed il tempo diviene così musica. Tutto il lavoro di Mayr si concentra sul rapporto suono/tempo/ ambiente e quest’opera elettronica visionaria – realizzata nel 1983 e che solo ora vede la pubblicazione -  ne rappresenta una delle espressioni più ardite e concettualmente  valide.
Edizione limitata di 500 copie, non numerate. Copertina in cartoncino, a due pannelli. Libretto di 16 pagine, con diagramma della composizione. Note dell'autore in italiano e inglese.

The application of musical criteria to the organization of time.
“When we slow down a sound many times, all the way below 15 cps approximately, we perceive as a series of discrete pulses. In a physical sense it remains a sound, but not for human perception. Try now to imagine an extremely slow 'sound' where the fundamental has a period of 60 minutes. The - virtual - overtones would be integer divisions of that period, i.e.: 30', 20', 15', and so on. This is the structural principle of HORA HARMONICA.” (Albert Mayr)
In Hora Harmonica the author transform sound in rhythm and time become music. All Mayr’s work is concerned on the relationship between sound/time/environment and this electronic visionary work – realized in 1983 and only now published - represent one of his most hazardous and conceptually valid expressions.
Limited edition of 500 not-numbered copies. Folded cardboard cover. 16 pages booklet, with diagram of the composition. Notes by the author in italian and english.
