Sonanza

The pandemic has had a sever impact on concerts all around. There were however recently two streamed performance of new works of mine: first the chamber ensemble adaptation of Counterpoint for ensemble Sonanza in Kungasalen at KMH, and then Values of Sound #1, fixed media music written for the multiple-speaker sound dome at KMH. See YouTube clip below (at 49:40) for Sonanza’s performance of my piece. This concert was part of Svensk Musikvår, a very ambitious festival of contemporary music led by brilliant Saxophone player Jörgen Pettersson.

Counterpoint was originally written för my friend Nazanin Aghakhani, for her master degree concert with Kuopio Symphony Orchestra in Finland. It was written around the time I wrote my Requiem when algorithmic composition of counterpoint structures was a big focus of mine.
