Cloudspotting for violin and piano explores an 11-chord sequence traversed cyclically 10 times, where the step increases by one with every traversal. Successive traversals of the chord sequence create a generative soundscape dominated by four note patterns in the piano, groups of long notes in the violin, and unusual harmonic shifts. Floating violin phrases have inspired the title, recalling clouds in slow motion across the sky. The work aims to find unexplored possibilities, new meaning and feeling in traditional consonant harmonies and familiar sound textures.
World premiere by Dušan Panajotović, violin and Bojana Dimković, piano, at the 34th International Composers Review, Belgrade, Serbia, September 29th 2025.
