Oluzayo - African Music Futures Festival
Heterometric Patterns(2023)for 15 musician in 3 groups
Premiered by Ensemble Modern on 31th May 2023,  Cologne/Germany.

"Heterometric Patterns" draws inspiration from the mesmerizing overtone singing technique known as "Umngqokolo" from South Africa. This composition seamlessly weaves the rhythmic tapestry derived from African folk music, interpreting it in a rich and heterogeneous manner through the collaboration of 15 musicians. The spatial arrangement of these musicians into three distinct groups on the stage enhances the element of spatialisation, contributing to the immersive and dynamic nature of the performance.
