Where a pendulum becomes free (2020)

5 Violas

5'

Commissioned by IMPULS Festival für neue musik Sachsen-Anhalt

Program Notes

I composed this piece for a concert at the viola masterclass.

A quintet of the same instrument allows to create up to five layers by using the same color. By incorporating different shades of that color, I wrote the piece as something for five players to build together. The work combines mechanical elements with sections that resemble the dance of a living organism.
