English

Moto immoto
tranguile version
for accordion

This version of Moto immoto (motion in the motionless - 2011) for accordion solo is dedicated to Rasmus Schærff Kjøller and Bjarke Mogensen, and is a reduced more calm version of the original work from 2009.
Duration app. 5:30 min.

Program note
A simple pattern of 6 major thirds represents all the harmonics in the piece. It counts in 5/4 and are slowly moving through all the keys forming an irreversible feeling of lost times and sorrow. The work is inspired by the last poetry by the old master Basho – his death poem. The mood is somewhere between dream and reality, the living and the dead where consciousness wanders by unknown paths.

Sick

on my journey,

only my dreams

will wander

these desolate

moors

Moto immoto
versione tranguile
for akkordion

Denne version af Moto immoto (bevægelse i det ubevægelige - 2011) for akkordion solo er dedikeret til Rasmus Schærff Kjøller og Bjarke Mogensen, og er en reduceret mere rolig version af det originale værk fra 2009.
Varighed ca. 5:30 min.

Programnote
Moto immoto er langsomt, meditativ og med en underliggende følelse af tabt tid. Musikken bevæger sig uafvendelig igennem alle tonearter, cirkulær og i evig bevægelse, men står alligevel stille, frosset fast i en tid som var, og som måske skal til at blive. Værket er inspireret af den store japanske mester Basho sidste haiku digt, hans døds-digt der befinder sig et sted imellem drøm og virkelighed, det levende og det døde hvor bevidstheden vandrer af ukendte stier.

Jeg rejser

syg

Stille over

visne marker

Strejfer

mine drømme
