INTERMEZZO (for introduction) – GAMMA – VANDERPOL – SCRATCH
A three-minute recording of a solo by the Japanese koto player Chieko Mori forms the basis of the entire composition (koto: a Japanese stringed instrument). With the exception of the ‘idyll’ at the end of SCRATCH and the INTERMEZZO all parts have been developed exclusively from this sound material.The parts can be played in any order.The world premiere took place in conjunction with MEDUSA*EXPEDIT (a Tanz*Hotel production with Bert Gstettner and Hannes Mlenek), Nov. 2015, Ankerbrot Expedithalle Vienna. Of the original four parts, three are performed here: GAMMA (the title track, commissioned by Kultur NÖ) – INTERMEZZO – SCRATCH
