Imposible

This piece is a reflection about real love. It is an attempt to show love for what it really is, an imperfect labyrinth of feelings full of little dark corners. The piece was first inspired by a pop song that talks about how at times it feels impossible to give love.The title makes also reference to a more technical aspect of the piece that has to do with the rhythmic relation between the played music and the pre-recorded music. In some movements of the piece the absolute rhythmic synchronism between the pre-recorded music and the played music  is in fact impossible. This fact is used in certain moments of the piece to create “clouds of pitches” with a particular rhythmic effect.?The piece was first recorded by Pascal Meyer, Anna voor de Wind and Jellantsje de Vries in Amsterdam on June 8th 2012 and, later on, premiered by the DoelenEnsemble on September the 5th 2012 at the Gaudeamus Music Week in Utrech, The Netherlands.
