First Appearance of Incessancy 20'
for Piano, Flutes, and two Assistants
The First Appearance of Incessancy was composed for Flutes, Piano and 2 Assistants, who play doors to modify the listening experiences of the audience. The piece is composed for 3 separated scores (Particell) without a final score. The door pieces start always after the music pieces to trying invite acoustical coincidence from outside of the performance.
This is a trailer of the first part of music.
As you can listening, the music of first part has a very close spirit like Salvatore Sciarrino, a great composer from Italy. First because Sciarrino has been almost reached the limited of flute techniques and colors in our time. Many from those colors were very close to asian soundscapes — the representative facets of the airs, the spaces of rest, all of this appears in a nature way in his music with gentleness and care. This agreeing without prior consultation between the compositional and cultural experiences was a great lesson to me. The coincidences as a positiv incident in the daily life were always a important part of Chinese culture. To living with uncertainty and to modify those experiences to a good resolution formed the philosophical praxis of Chinese.
The Appearances of Incessancy is a project according to a poem by German author Daniel Schmidt with tittle „Es könnte ewig dauern“ („This may take forever“). A Text which paid less regard on self controlling and censorship on formality of writing, he was trying to emancipate himself from the chains of morality in current literature, but in the same time through the text reflects himself and east German Society critically.
I use a metaphor from the calligraphy practice in ancient China, in which the people structured the writing of character „infinity“ as the fundamental principe of Calligraphy knowledge. I improve from this idea both of my tonal materials and structure of the music. The writing of „infinity“ is shown in the whole piece without any other additionally materials.
The premier with video project by Melanie Piroschik wasplayed in 15th and 16th January 2016 PM 8.30 at Conservatory of music and Theater in Leipzig, Germany. (Sabine Rufener Flute solo, Marlene Heiss on Piano.)
