Es curioso que algunos sitios del globo a los que no les prestamos atención (Islandia me da la idea de un lugar exótico, por sus características, y tambien por estar tan lejos), adquieran una significación para nosotros a través de expresiones musicales; en este caso, no porque sean folklóricas, o propias del lugar, ya que estan muy próximas a las Músicas Cultas (no me gusta emplear erróneamente el término Música Clásica), sino por su exquisitez, o, en el caso de Johannsson, por ser de naturaleza temática.
Hoy empezamos a conocer el álbum Fordlandia, del cual leemos en la propia página del Autor:
- After IBM 1401, A User’s Manual, Fordlândia is the second instalment in a proposed trilogy dealing with technology and industrial archeology. Whereas IBM 1401, A User’s Manual was a personal response to technology and its inevitable obsolescence (inspired by his father’s work with mainframe computers in 1960s Iceland), Fordlândia springs out of a far more diffuse set of influences. It brings together the soaring grandeur of its predecessor (some sections were recorded with the same orchestra in Prague) and the intimacy of Englabörn, moving between heady, melting cadences and crystalline motifs with gorgeous, dreamlike logic.In short, Fordlândia is Jóhann Jóhannsson’s most complete and beautiful piece of music to date; a fascinating, immersive and deeply rewarding web of ideas and melodies, which is sure to win him a legion of new listeners.
