Star Child Arise/Star Child Aria

Pression (1969) for a cellist by Helmut Lachenmann in the version made by Mike Svoboda in collaboration with the composer in 2011.

Helmut Lachenmann : "pression" - version for trombone by Mike Svoboda

The piece was written for the 2016 edition of the Composition Master class under the auspices for the Altitude University and is heartily dedicated to the members of the ensemble MULTILATéRALE.  The emergence of gestural interactivity pointing to an idiomatic stream of sonic behaviors captures the dramaturgical framework of the piece, highlighting a network of distinguishable sonic objects all perceived in a unified sonic fabric. The musical ideas derive from the behavior and directionality of the materials with close attention to their nature, sound structure, sonic porosity and density. My ideas about musical flow and dramaturgical formation are related to the characteristics of each musical moment that is connected with its surroundings, this results in a musical flow with heterogenous or homogenous elements resembling that of a living organism.
