| Notes | his piece approaches musical syntax in an unorthodox way. framed by a persistent, yet extremely irregular string of metric units, the musical gestures in a quasi-hirajoshi mode of tuning played on the koto is mutated by the cello, and as a result, appear as disentangled moments separated by ruptures of very brief silences; such a quality is perhaps comparable to the linguistic phenomenon called tmesis. this piece is dedicated to verne de la pena for his untiring fascination for tradition and the various streams of modernities [Baes]. |
