Bil Smith Composer. Oeuvre

"Audioguide"...one of the most profound acts of music from 2014.

"If an event is to occur, it must take the other side of each rule, a passivity.  It must come across an exposed vulnerability. "(Derrida)

Johannes' minutely detailed score once again locates the most abstract limits of a concept in the most idiosyncratic material details of a music.  'A' music. An 'Audioguide'.

Kreidler may scrutinize an ostensibly blank sheet of manuscript paper for its inevitable imperfections and irregularities, looking for chromatic variations or loci of acute notational relief, then marking a predetermined number of the minuscule blemishes in his mind.

But "Audioguide" has no part of this.

Johannes Kreidler's "Audioguide".  Let's start here...one of the most profound acts of music from 2014. When we speak of radical disruption; an honest shift in constative change, we start with Audioguide. ...an elegiac Dionysian melodrama.

Score for "JM on Miami" for Celeste and Dromedary (2012): "Operating Exophorically"

Score for "JM on Miami" for Celeste and Dromedary (2012); Bil Smith Composer . Theater Artea, Santiago, Chile.

As a composition moves even further towards confusion, the diminishing denotational capacity of its documentation helps to foreground the potential of the medium itself to signify, regardless of specific content at all. 

The ideal of a perfect musical nomenclature, one operating exophorically to communicate a content of purely referential signifieds, would depend and rely on the absolute transparence of the medium; not just the evacuation of the note from the page...although the materiality of the medium makes available alternative strategies.
