STARGAZING I (2021)

A live recording of my piece Aalto Kantaa for two flutes and three sopranos.

"Aalto kantaa" (fin. "the Wave Carries) is about letting go of the illusion of control. Not trying to force our way through life but rather trust the waves and let them guide you through wind and storm, life, death and resurrection. 
The text is written by Ali Ahovaara

Soprano 1: Ella Vahtras
Soprano 2: Emmi Kauppinen
Soprano 3: Elin Mossberg

Flute: Elisa Onegård
Alto Flute: Emma Eskeby

Aalto kantaa

Aalto Kantaa

Façade has been composed for the horn virtuoso Sören Hermansson (http://www.sorenhermansson.com) who asked me to write a work for him after we met in 2019 in Cape Town. The work finds itself in a global context of uncertainty and difficulty. Reflecting on this and the challenges we have all been facing,  Façade explores the interfaces of defence, masking and reality; truth and concealment. It is scored for horn in F and computer where the interplay between the two mask each other - one is unsure at times of who is the  Façade  or who is behind it, and at the end, we are left having to decide for ourselves. Recorded here November 8th, alias TEATERN, Stockholm. (Mika Pohjola, recording engineer).

Vagabond

This piece, Constellations is an in depth exploration into modulatory music in just intonation. Over the course of approximately 13 minutes a series of strict modulations take place, which wander around a 3-5-7-9-11 Eikosany. An Eikosany is a 20 note just intonation microtonal scale, invented by the music theorist Ervin Wilson.
