3. a turn of anything coiled; whorl; sinuosity. 4. anat. one of the sinuous folds or ridges of the surface of the brain. 5. an operation performed on two signals which involves multiplying one signal by a delayed version of another signal, integrating or averaging the product, and repeating the process for different delays.
Convolution is Mark Cunningham and Silvia Mestres. Convolution is all of the above expressed in sound and images. An intuitional process: Convolutionism.
Convolution was in motion from 2001 to 2014.
Mark has been active since 1975 first in NYC with Mars (No New York) and Don King, then in Barcelona with Raeo, Bestia Ferida and currently Blood Quartet as well as countless collaborations. Silvia has collaborated with Mark since 1990 both musically and visually: providing the live and CD scenography and images in his solo shows and as Convolution. The sounds came from trumpet, guitar, voice, samples and chaos.
Lyrics
La Frontera del Cuerpo. Canto Primero
Author: Juan Garrido
Atrapado nuestro cerebro en la prisión de los cinco sentidos,
de una percepción limitada, arbitraria del Cosmos,
¿Piensan o deliran las almas?
Meros aconteceres en el decurso espacio/ temporal
Prisión amarga, dulce lamento
en psicotropos ahogado, limitado, acotado
Ingenuo tras la espinosa empalizada
de biología inmunda
van y suenan las trompetas arcangélicas
anunciando tal vez, un perfume de alivio
a tan gigantesco delirio,
en la agria batalla de la realidad.
Oh, bálsamo redentor,
que nos endulce o anestesie
tan pesada y fatal carga
de las penas innumerables
del ser siendo, del existir gritando,
mudo, opaco, hacia adentro.
Organos futuros, putrefactos,
descendientes de simios olvidados
y otras quimeras mutadas en un remoto pasado,
Supervivientes de pesadillas extintas, fosilizadas,
de un planeta habitado por diablos carnívoros,
delirios de la Vida en el Paraíso Pasado,
irremisiblemente perdido...
todo excepto el reducto extremo:
Cerebros reptílicos supervivientes, latentes
aunque permaneciendo, crucial paradoja,
inmutables en nuestro ser actual.
The blossom
Author: William Blake
Merry merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green,
A happy blossom
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my bosom
Pretty pretty robin!
Under leaves so green,
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing
Pretty pretty robin,
Near my bosom.
Itifálicos y sorchescos.
Collage de A. B. Casares y A. Rimbaud
Preferimos que el mundo estalle,
a que la salvación venga de otros.
Afirman que el miedo aviva la mente...
Y como de ninguna manera
nadie escapará a la muerte,
que venga pronto, para todos
que así la suma del dolor será la mínima
Itifálicos y sorchescos
En la velada narran relatos
Itifálicos y sorchescos
Oleajes abracadabrantescos
Itifálicos y sorchescos
