DISSOLUTION & SUSPENSION
DISSOLUTION & SUSPENSION The sound piece Dissolution & Suspension is a reinterpretation of Carl Nielsen’s string quartet in F-minor (opus 5) from 1892.
Where we usually perceive a string quartet as one unity, this work is based on a separation and spacious demonstration which translates as a 4-channel loudspeaker setup, so we hereby find ourselves in the middle of the quartet. Advanced audio analysis of recordings of the original string quartet underlying the creation of this new work, where Nielsen's melodic folklike tone is converted into dense (dis)harmonies and almost frozen processes and developments.
