“1 + ∞” is a minimalistic musical composition by Penelope Gkika and Maria Koltsida, which was originally composed for the theatrical play “Milch”.

The aim of the piece is to present a musical conversation in which the two instruments, piano and violin, construct a unified sonic environment that gives the impression of a continuously developing story that may never end.

The structure of “1 + ∞” is based on a series of melodic fragments that are repeated and altered throughout the course of the piece, eventually coalescing into a powerful and poignant melodic theme. The performers progress one by one through this series of loops according to their own discretion, as well as interpreting the given material  in an improvisatory fashion which is unique to each performance. As such, the piece could last anywhere from 10 minutes to days, according to the performers’ mood.

The piece has been performed in a variety of different contexts, ranging from theatrical and performative presentations of the work to traditional concert settings.
