3 dimensionalizing time and how to take colors into harmonic sound was
from Messiaen. This esoteric knowledge began a life long
quest to find answers to microtonality and natural phenomenon and the
essence of the unseen.
Making new steps in
microtonal improvisation, John Gilbert premiered his new wavelength /
geometrical microtone synthesized electric guitar (Hondo II) at a COMA
event in New York City. COMA is a very well known, long time
established avant garde session hosted by Blaise Siwula (sax,
clarinet). Following this landmark performance, Blaise and
John recorded a duo album completely improvised without any planning
prior to it as is common with the improvisational music. The
group's name is Fulgornatus and will soon be available for purchase on
Konnex. Recurring themes in all of John Gilbert's musical
works whether it be improvising on piano or electric guitar or simply
painting art are numbers as aesthetic properties, abstraction of
nature, serialism in music, chromaticism and geometry. Other
ideas that appear are relativity, microtonal harmony, color light
scales, improvisation, the exploration of dissonance, comedy
and the inners.
