Grind

world premiere Suså Festival (Denmark) august 24 2002
Bolette Roed – recorders; James Crabb – accordion

‘Grind’ is commissioned and dedicated to James Crabb, and composed in close collaboration with him and Bolette Roed. It is a piece composed in between bigger commissions, and as such is nurtured by thoughts, ideas, and conclusions drawn from these works. In particular, it reflects my interest for combinations of phrasing and rhythm, where the flexibility of phrasing is projected into additive rhythms and juxtapositions of these, requiring great performance skills of and accuracy in the music-making on behalf of the performers.
