Featured Artist: Iancu Dumitrescu
IANCU DUMITRESCU ( born 1944 ) is one of the leading personalities of contemporary music, embracing both composition and interpretation.
He studied with Sergiu Celibidache musical phenomenology and conducting
His compositions are based on ultra-spectralism and acousmatics from a phenomenological point of view (Ed. Husserl), in which sound is subject to analysis and dissociation, (harmonical multisounds - diagonal sounds) processes which confer a genuine force of suggestion and penetration. His music is edited by Editions Salabert (Paris), Escargot-CBS (Paris), ReR Megacorp (London), Gerig Musikverlage (Koln), Generation Unlimited (New York) etc.
