Work: Pulau Dewata

For 2019, Time Spans doubled its number of concerts, culminating in an evening of works by composers born in or relocated to Canada, conjuring Banksy moods and inadvertent confusion.

Reading Gérard Grisey’s programme notes on his masterpiece Vortex Temporum is not the most agreeable experience. The reader is informed that the work is structured around ‘three basic forms’: ‘the original event – a sinusoidal wave – and two continuous events, an attack with or without resonance as well as a sound held with or without crescendo’.

Asko|Schönberg zeigt in seinem Programm die Vielschichtigkeit des kanadischen Komponisten Claude Vivier.
