est croisée (2020)
for large ensemble
“est croisée” belongs to a series of recent compositions where I am exploring frameworks of dramaturgy characterized by a continuum of repetitive rhythmicities. Strictly defined by concrete sound blocks, the structure of the piece introduces the horizontal and vertical symbiosis of material opting for phrasal collision, concatenation and displacement. The gradual deconstruction of the structural constituents of each and every sound block introduces a new view on the hypostasis of the material delineating the eventual dramaturgical development as well as shaping new structural pillars. One of my goals is to compose a self-referential soundscape where the notion of repetition and micro-parallaxes, the phrasal shortening and stretching, can lead to a new perception of the sound blocks as entities, where repetition can cause a sense of exhaustion and perversion in their singularity. “est croisée” was commissioned by the Trägerverein Herrenhaus Edenkoben e.V. with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. It was written for the IEMA - Ensemble 2019/20 and is heartily dedicated to Konrad and Barbara Stahl.
