Martin Lohse 1999
In Danish
Haiku (1999)
Værket er inspireret af HAIKU-digte fra det gamle Japan, og består af 12 musikalske stemninger eller øjeblikke på imellem 20 sekunder og halvanden minut, dog med et enkelt stykke på lidt over 4 minutter.
Musikerne bestemmer selv antallet og rækkefølgen af de 12 musikalske ”digte” – om alle 12 eller måske kun 2 skal høres, og om der overhovedet skal danne sig et samlet forløb – en samlet form ud af det musikalske materiale.
Martin Lohse 1999
