Cerebral Vortex - CB (PDF)

CEREBRAL VORTEX



Cerebral Vortex ble skrevet til Musikkforeningen Nidarholm i anledning deres deltakelse i World Music Contest i Kerkrade, Nederland i 2009, og urfremført ved denne konkurransen under ledelse av Espen Andersen med komponisten i saxrekken.



Tittelen er ment å beskrive en form for skrivesperre som ikke skyldes mangel på ideer, men heller manglende evne til å kanalisere og forme «galskapen» som svirrer rundt inni hodet til en som så gjerne ønsker å uttrykke noe. Sånn sett kan stykket fra komponistens side sies å være en øvelse i å holde fokus. En begrenset materialmengde gjentas og behandles for å skape en utvikling som hele tiden har et fast ankerpunkt. Dette understrekes ved at stykket mot slutten vender tilbake til åpningstemaet.







CEREBRAL VORTEX



Cerebral Vortex was composed for Musikkforeningen Nidarholm for their participation in the 2009 World Music Contest in Kerkrade, The Netherlands. Tthe first performance was given at this contest conducted by Espen Andersen, with the composer in the saxophone section.



The title is meant to describe a from of writer?s block caused not by lack of ideas, but rather a lack of ability to channel and form the «madness» swirling around inside the head of someone with a great desire to express something. In this respect, the piece can be said to be an exercise in keeping focus from the composer?s side. A limited amount of material is repeated and treated to create a development that always has a solid anchor point. This is emphasized by the return to the opening theme towards the end.
