Solo 1

"Strummers Clash " is my second collaboration with composer Matthew Shlomowitz and guitarist Tom Pauwels. Made after "Greetings from Astridplein", (also available on on this channel) this work takes on similar approach, where Tom & I made long distance recordings of Matthew's 2nd duet for 2 e-guitars, followed by me later remixing and flavoring the piece with all sort of "extras", turning it into a radio piece with a cinematic quality. As for the title it is a rare case where the descriptive - content & spirit - and the concept of a homage line up perfectly together, making it a special favorite of mine. This one is for you J.S.

Deutsch-Pauwels-Shlomowitz: Strummers Clash

The “Iridescent schemes” was written between May to July 2023, inspired by the ways our perception on different things shifts endlessly - under the influence of every new “slant of light” (Emily Dickenson). The title of the piece derives from the phenomenon of goniochromism (from the Greek: gonia, meaning angle and chroma, meaning color) when certain surfaces appear to gradually change color as the angle of view or the angle of illumination changes.

The piece was commissioned by Georges Aperghis and is dedicated to him and the Schallfeld ensemble.

___________________

‘Stàhti’ - which in Greek means ash - is an acoustic work based on pre-recorded voices and text. The inspiration of this piece comes from the poem by the Latvian poet Baiba Bičole titled ‘'Es ārpus laika esmu’’ ("I exist outside of time”). Poetry and music, both highly abstract art forms, share multiple similarities in their level of abstraction and their interpretation depends greatly on individual experiences. My main reason for composing this work was to expand the expression of poetry in my music and dive into the archaic sounds that the human voice can produce.
