Most of us know the term chiaroscuro as one of the prominent painting techniques from the Renaissance. Literally translated from Italian into English as light-dark, this method of applying bold contrasts was used to create depth in the representation of an image. The pith of this approach to light lies in the interplay of appearing and disappearing; what is exposed, what is hidden? This observation appealed to me musically and became the point of departure for this composition. The mechanics of gradually revealing and concealing shape the framework in which two textural layers shift back and forth in unsynchronised cycles that progressively move towards synchronisation. 

Performed by Bert Van Stam.
Recording of live performance on 1st of October in Maranatha Church, The Hague, NL.
