Yttringar (utterances)

Description: Recording of Åke Parmerud's "Yttringar (utterances)." Form and material derived from the Fibbonacci-series. One of the goals of the piece is to avoid the regular behavior of instruments and electroacoustic sounds as clearly separated entities by creating rapid "shadowings" between the tape-part and the live-part.

Pathways

Description: Pathways seeks to explore ways in which two traditions of music making may come together, neither losing its own characteristics yet the two together creating new possibilities. I have chosen the medium of electronic interactions and transformations to explore the relationships and to develop common ground. There is so much in common in the wealth of the internal workings of the sounds themselves and at the same time a contrast in the traditions of performance practice. In Pathways I have attem… more

Interferences III

Description: There is an axial note, Db, out of which some sounds escape occasionally, only to return to it. All other sounds are stratified around these, and the entries of instruments are somewhat free, in a quasi canonic imitation.

The piece was written for the Agrupaci—n Nueva Mœsica/Rosario [ANM/R] and its conductor, composer Dante Grela. Interferences III is dedicated to them. Premi… more
