PROGRAM NOTES
There were two particular goals I had while writing Duo for Flute and Marimba. I wanted to write a piece that was substantially longer than a usual five-minute, one-movement chamber piece, and I also wanted to write a work with a marimba part that uses six mallets for someone other than me. Ingrid, being one of my most courageous friends, offered to learn this difficult technique if I would write a piece for Kesatuan.

This duo is constructed in three contrasting movements. Although the two outer movements have more in common with each other than with the jazzy second movement, shared motives, melodic fragments, textures and rhythmic ideas permeate all three. The flutist has an opportunity to use an alto flute in the last movement, and the marimbist uses six mallets in the first movement and five mallets in the third. My general goal with this duo is to squeeze as much color, contrapuntal interplay and excitement out of this combination of instruments as possible.

The first movement, Allegro Misterioso, is meant to have a somewhat soothing quality, defined by lightly ornamented flute lines and ostinati in the marimba part. The structure of this movement is essentially a simple A, B, A’ form.

The jazz-influenced second movement, Playfully Seductive, is written for a friend I met during the summer of 1998 named Elyse, with whom my wife Victoria and I became good friends. Elyse not only has a beautiful singing voice but also happens to be a flutist. During one discussion, she told me that her father played the role of Tony in the first Broadway production of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. A few times, we had fun playing and singing through her West Side Story songbook. During this movement, I refer to West Side Story and also to Elyse, her bass-playing ex-boyfriend (now her husband), Victoria and even myself through thematic leitmotifs. The form of this movement is similar to the first, in that the introductory material is re-introduced near the end of the movement.

The third movement, Vivace, is similar to the first movement in that it also contains ornamented flute lines and marimba ostinati. Themes are borrowed and developed from the first two movements, and both the first and third movements contain flute cadenzas. The end of this movement provides an exciting conclusion to the entire three-movement work.

Musicians often have to walk the path less travelled to get to where they want to be. Trials and tribulations are sure to pop up, and those who can push through the twists and turns will find themselves exactly where they’re meant to be. Songwriter/composer Peter Sauleda has taken this often crooked path and has found his true musical purpose in the journey. 

Originally from Stockholm, Sweden, the journey has taken Sauleda through Sao Paulo, Caracas, Madrid, Sant Pol de Mar, Costa del Sol, Gothenburg, Vienna and most recently Stavanger. Each step along the way imprinting pieces of themselves into him and his music. Sauleda gathered profound knowledge and inspiration through his travels and his connection to each city can be felt throughout his unique, ambient, synthetic sound.

Focusing on downtempo electronic soundscapes that soothe the soul, Sauleda aims to provide listeners with an even deeper experience. There is heavy influence from IDM, Cinematic, and Ambient genres. Each song taking you to another place, allowing for some peace and ease amongst the chaos of our world. 

To capture this unique sound Sauleda reached upon an assortment of musical influences. From classical composers such as Bach and Beethoven to the progressive rock of Genesis, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The electronic examples of Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, and William Orbit had their effect as well. In today’s music scene, Sauleda is often compared to such unique artists as Boards of Canada, Thievery Corporation, and Four Tet. This diversity is what sets his music apart.

From his first piano lessons at the age of 7, the desire to transfer emotion through sound became a passion for Sauleda. An album released with Blanco y Negro Records in 2005, and a career producing music for promotional videos provided vast experience. His ability to create distinctive sound design, while never using sound banks or sampled loops, sets Sauleda on a higher level. He is able to conjure fantastic and exotic images within the mind of the listener through his immersive electronic soundscapes.

Now he is focused on publishing his own unique music under the Sauleda name. Finding inspiration in extraordinary events of the past and creating soundscapes that display the feelings of the individuals that lived through them. The sounds, the emotions, the history. All this in an effort to plant his footprint firmly in the Electronic Music scene with a sense of joy for his continued journey into sound.

Sauleda welcomes all people regardless of age, race, or orientation to come along and enjoy this epic journey alongside him.

Matthiaz has based his entire musical career on contrast, polarization, the storm that destroys you and the calm that heals you. The Indonesian artist is a true organic piano music alchemist, he is able to delve into soundscapes of ambient.
