Hypnos for bass flute or tenor recorder and tape

Hypnos is a dream; Hypnos is a passage through the mosaic of memories and flashes of the closed eye state. It disputes the concepts of time flow, sleepiness, and variable points of focus. The piece is written in the Dastgāh-e Māhur Persian scale and explores certain harmonic states and motivic groups that are the characteristic components of a dream, my Persian dream.

BhUtadhAtrI in Sanskrit language means “sleep, earth and supporter of being”.

This composition uses two different systems: the first is based on a dense textile weave that determines a strict, logical structure, moving from the highest note to the lowest of the trumpet; the second is based on the harmonics and overtones of the changing chords produced by the first system. The harmony is based on perfect intervals – perfect fourth, fifth, octaves – that are de-tuned by overlapping microtones, resembling the drones of Indian music. The two systems are woven together into a monolithic soundscape that develops from quiet to loud, overlapping different patterns as the music grows from a few notes into an enormous chord.

The work is commissioned by the contemporary music festival “Gaida” and Lithuanian Composer’s Union.

The world premiere was performed on 19 October in 2018 by the Lithuanian Ensemble Network, conducted by Vykintas Baltakas. Trumpets: Laurynas Lapė, Aurimas Jankevicius, Andrius Stankevicius, Linas Rupšplaukis, and Vilius Surdokas.

Text

The ocean, deep blue-green.
What we learn in the middle of the night is that the world makes us flinch. (Michel Serres, The Five Senses: Philosophy of Mingled Bodies)
Sounds an ocean, drinks it in.

Then everything became worse for the wear, damaged, used and used-up and ultimately destroyed.
More and more I made up for what was lost, I slowly improved myself, and I considered myself healed. (Ingeborg Bachmann, Malina)

I found myself trapped in a nightmare, standing alone at the sea. Everyday becoming more and more.
White and yellow and gray and horizonless. (Tove Jansson, The Summer Book)
