about

In April of 2003, Roberto Carlos Lange was living in Savannah, GA finishing his last year of college at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Around that time, his friend Eddie Alonso shared raw recordings he created during sessions at SOMA studios in Chicago. These were raw takes meant to fit together in Eddie's compositions. Out of context, the sounds became malleable material that became these long exposure, and slow moving works Roberto called LOVE 1, 2, 3 & 4.

There is a craft art material called Nature Print Paper, and it's a paper that undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight. Its creators intended you to put a found leaf, twig, or some discovered flora and lay it on top of the paper while it bathes in the sun. The result is a silhouette of the shape, darker than the paper. This sunburnt artifact creates an abstract representation of memory on the paper of time and place. The sounds that pulse sway and develop in LOVE 1, 2, 3 & 4 work so similar to this sun-exposed paper. It takes these shapes of these raw sounds sound and allows them to take on new forms through audio processing and reaarangment.

The sounds are flutes, cellos, violins, a celeste, piano, harpsichord, glockenspiel, and marimba. They all have classical music relationships, but in these recordings, they've been asked to be the shadow of themselves. The arrangements are long tone pieces, patient, and giving. "I was hypnotized by these sounds when I first heard them," says Roberto "I started to loop, time-stretch and edit sections and shaping all of these in about a week, I fell into a trance making them, and once I finished the 4th one they were all exactly what they needed to be."
