Michael Pisaro-Liu — A Room Outdoors (Elsewhere)

Photo by Chiyoko Szlavnics

The premise of A Room Outdoors is simple; bring the outdoors inside. Wandelweiser composer Michael Pisaro-Liu wrote the piece in 2006. It requires a sustaining instrument — a harmonium is prescribed, but a synthesizer or organ will do — a field recording, and 48 minutes of the performers and listeners’ time. According to Pisaro-Liu’s website, the score is seven pages long, but much is left to the performers’ discretion. Depending on what instruments and which field recordings they pick, the sound of the piece could be wildly different, but the intent remains the same.

This CD presents two iterations, both performed by pianist/conductor/curator Guy Vandromme in association with a few other performers. Vandromme is a champion of contemporary works that prioritize aspects of sound over what’s written on a page. Both pieces are part of a project called Timemonochromes… in dialogue with, which sponsors the enactment of performances that invite consideration of the relationship between places and the human-produced sounds that take place within them. A scan of the Timemonochromes Facebook page reveals that not all of these events involve performances of A Room Outdoors, but it’s easy to see how Pisaro-Liu’s score relates would fit into a project that specifically examines such dialogues.

The album comprises two complete performances realized three years apart. The first was done at the Wild Gallery in Brussels in April 2020, and it is visually represented by the empty chair and opaque windows on the front of the album’s sleeve. Packing lots of folks into the space would not have been an option in that time, but humanity feels present nonetheless. It begins with the sounds of distant traffic and braking trams and accumulates further sounds of urban travel. The musicians enter the outdoor sound-space gradually and respectfully. Vandromme is credited with keyboards and Adriaan Severins contributes synthesizer and field recordings, and both of them play long tones that feel like grounding commentary on a wider field of action. The captured traffic carries on, unmindful of the musicians who have taken interest in it. The choice to bring the outdoors into one’s creative space, it seems, can give a body some humbling information about their place in the world.

The second recording took place in June, 2023 at Archaeological Museum of Cremona, Italy. This time, Vandromme sticks to harmonium, and he is accompanied by viola da gamba player Luciana Elizonda, while Fabio Gionfrida wrangles the field recordings. The players’ sounds loom louder in the mix, and their exclusively acoustic origin gives them a rougher grain. But the sounds around them are quite different. Birds, bugs, close-up movement and faraway voices quietly fill the sound field. The louder drones feel imposed upon them, but even though they ride higher in the mix, they ultimately cannot compete with the richness of the nature sounds.

As is typically the case with an Elsewhere production, the recordings are beautifully rendered and the package design resonates consonantly with the sounds. But unlike many other Elsewhere releases, the label website does not have an interview in which the composer or performers explain the work at length. While it’s possible that one will show up down the road, I rather hope that it doesn’t. The merit of this work resides in as much in its ability to get the listener thinking about the sounds’ relationships to each other as it does upon the sounds themselves. It’s up to you if you want to complete this piece with your questions.
