Feast (2022)

Quarter-tone Accordion

5'

Commissioned by Lore Amenabar Larrañaga

Program Notes

This piece celebrates the beginning of the history of the new quarter-tone accordion with Lore’s system.

This instrument can create various sounds: pitched sounds with colours of quarter-tones and non-pitched percussive sounds from the body of the instrument, bellow, buttons, etc. In the piece, I mixed the materials above to show the instrument's capability. My current theme is to create enjoyable contemporary music. Rhythmic patterns are repeated like a dance filled with the energy of celebration.
