Moto immoto
Mobile I
for accordion duo

Moto immoto (motion in the motionless) was composed in 2009 as an electroacustic piece, created with samples from Vienna Symphonic Library as a virtual piece for symphonic orchestra. The scoring and rearrangement for two accordions was written in 2010, and this short version was composed in 2011.

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. Insistent figures across the rhythm of the chords in the strings and especially in the brass creates a counterpoint to the slow music, but it really doesn't change the somehow transcendental feeling of the work.

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.

for akkordion duo

Moto immoto (bevægelse I det ubevægelige) blev I 2009 komponeret som et elektroakustisk værk med samples fra Vienna Symphonic Library som et virtuelt stykke for symfoniorkester, og fik sin endelige udgave for symfoniorkester i 2010. Værket for akkordeon duo er komponeret i 2010, og denne kortere version er skrevet i 2011.

Et simpelt mønster af 6 store tertser bevæger sig langsomt igennem alle tonearter i en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser, hvilket skaber en ren men også sorgfuld følelse af tabt tid. Undervejs afbrydes den mere transcendentale musik af hurtigere mere tætte afsnit, hvilket dog ikke ændrer på den grundlæggende stemning i værket.
