Slow River

In English

Slow River (2011)
Vibraphone, guitar and cello

Slow River was written for the Ordlyd ensemble.

A short motif in the cello undergoes slow changes throughout the movement, accompanied by various figures in the vibraphone and guitar. The work utilizes the musical technique “Mobile”, where different layers of music in individual tempos, metrics, and styles are combined in a simple pattern of chords. These chords slowly modulate through all keys in a never-ending sequence, creating a musical texture with very few or no dissonances.

Slow River (2011)
Vibrafon, guitar og cello

Slow River er skrevet til Ordlyd-ensemblet.

Et kort motiv i celloen undergår langsom forandring gennem hele satsen med forskellige akkompagnementsfigurer i vibrafon og guitar. Værket benytter teknikken “Mobile”, hvor forskellige lag af musik i hver deres tempo, metrik og musikalske stil kombineres i et simpelt mønster af akkorder. Akkorderne modulerer langsomt gennem alle tonearter i en uendelig sekvens, hvilket skaber en musik med ingen eller ganske få dissonanser.

Varighed ca. 13-14 min
