Thresholds. Surrounding the triptych ...auf... by Mark Andre
French composer Mark Andre is author of a work dealing with religious questioning. It was initially the writings of Duns Scotus which influenced the mensuralist art of Mark Andre begininng in the 1990s, through his notion of the compossible, his definition of God as ens infinitum and his insistence on divine omnipotence, thereby determining an interpretation of Ars subtilior, a revival of the notation introduced by the theories of Franco of Cologne. Slowly, often in small fragments, biblical sources succeeded theology. In the triptych ...auf..., an evocation of the Resurrection model and a latent dialectic, three sound typologies are used to depict an obscure deity and the entry of Rhine mysticism through musical forms and various modes of playing. Finally, the convolution affecting the electronic entanglements of the third section yields an existential, metaphysical and religious meaning.
