Interstigmata

By eliminating straightforward apprehensible music ideas (melodies, rhythmic motives, solos), the string quartet runs as a multi-instrument that produces masses of fast and shapeless figures with a continuant streaming. The material is distorted, constructed, restructured, decelerated, accelerated, immobilized and recycled continuously, while it is situated in two parts that explored by a different interpretation. The arrangement of the performers plays an role, as well. According to it, the three higher instruments are placed traditionally across the audience, while the cello plays with its back turned to it. As a result of this, the celloís dynamic is decreased, while the three higher instruments can function as a group. Finally, ocular and acoustic crosswise relations are formed by this arrangement. This work was based on the phrase ëípassive people / lifers, slavesíí.
