English

Resonance
for guitar trio

Starting with a long slow accelerando, Resonance develops from a slow repetative movement into a fast, rhythmical piece with an expressive melodi between the whirling notes ending with the melody in a pure form played as harmonics in the guitars.

Resonance is dedicated to Copenhagen Guitar Trio

Mobile
A musical technique where different layers of music in individual tempos, metric and musical style are combined in a simple pattern of chords, which slowly modulate through all the keys in a newer ending sequence, creating a music with no or very few dissonances.

I've developed the technique by combining different musical methods used in older works.

  1. Use of multiple layers of music, which have been a important part of my music since 2000.
  2. A simple repeating sequence of chords as the only harmonic material in the piece, which creates a music on the move, in a never ending modulation from the start to the end. Used in works like Haiku (1999), In liquid... (violin and piano) (2003) and Image balancantes (2004).
  3. A 'rhythm across harmony' principle, where different together sounding motives are played in individual tempos across the rhythm of the chords.

First used in Smoke (2000) and developed as a technique in Liebestraum (Liszt arrangement from 2005), and later used in 8 momenti mobile (2008) before it finally evolved to the technique used in Concerto in tempi from 2010 and forward.

Resonance
for guitar trio

Startende med et langt accelerando, udvikler Resonance sig fra en langsom repetativ sats til et hurtig, rytmisk stykke med en melodi der kommer frem mellem hvirvlende noder, for til sidst at ende med melodien i ren form, spillet som flageoletter I de tre guitarer.

Resonance er dedikeret til Copenhagen Guitar Trio

Mobile
En teknik hvor forskellige lag af musik i hver deres tempo, metrik og musikalsk stil kombineres i et simpelt mønster af akkorder, som langsomt modulere igennem alle tonearter i en uendelig sekvens, skabende en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser.

Program note

In Danish

Slow river
Mobile II
for vibrafon, guitar og cello


Slow river er skrevet i 2011 til Ordlyd ensemblet.

En kort motiv i celloen undergår langsom forandring gennem hele satsen, med forskellige akkompagnementer i vibrafon og guitar. Jeg benytter en teknik som jeg kalder Mobile, hvor forskellige lag af musik i hver deres tempo kombineres i et simpelt mønster af akkorder, som langsomt modulere igennem alle tonearter i en uendelig sekvens, skabende en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser.

Varighed 13-14 minutter.
