HYPOTHESEN ÜBER DAS MONDLICHT
from: "Augmented Studies"
für 16 Flöten (2012)
16 flutes, 20'48"
Is it possible to generate an algorithm capable of understanding and reproducing the rhythmic complexity created by reflections of the moonlight on the surface of the sea? I am quite sure 'Hypotheses on the Moonlight' failed my initial question. In the end though, it became something else. A micro-rhythmic/micro-tonal proportional canon created out of one single, ascending, regular, 25-cent scale over the range of a flute. (english edited by Henry Andersen)
