Phil Legard - Ten Meditative Fragments

from The Famulus II - Everyday Magic (audio edition) by The Famulus & Various

/

about

The music of Ten Meditative Fragments was written in 2007 using chance procedures to compose ten musical fragments, which could then be freely interpreted as an improvisation on a monophonic instrument. While I have played the piece privately countless times over the past few years, it was The Famulus’ call for contributions that compelled me to record a version.

Where is the ‘everyday magic’ here? To me it comes from the process of being able to combine disparate materials into a cohesive whole; to enter a state in which connections can be made between the seemingly disconnected atoms that comprise the piece and in which they appear to make sense. I feel this is akin to the special experience of looking out onto a landscape and being overtaken by the feeling of numinous unity that it expresses. If that’s not a magical feeling, I don’t know what is. You can download the score here:

Phil Legard has been making music focussed on magical, folkloric and natural themes since 2001. Often working under the banner of Xenis Emputae Travelling Band, he has also started releasing music under his own name, most recently Angelystor: a 40-minute composition drawing on field recordings and folklore from St. Digain’s church, Wales. Phil is currently finishing the fourth edition of his Psychogeographia Ruralis and exploring academic research into locative media as a tool for exploring our relationships with place.
