Other Planets

for violin and accordion
composed 2005; duration 8 minutes
commissioned by and dedicated to Branko Djordjevic

The musical material is closely related to on one side that of ‘Behind Your Hands’ (2004) for accordion and interactive computer, and ‘Rose-dèclic’ (1992) for violin and piano on the other. The piece contains very etheric passages where the extreme height of the violin is well accompanied by soft and static textures from the accordion. These passages provides for big contrast when the later accordion plunges into its lowest register, pulling with it the expressive pasion of the violin’s lower strings. The end of the piece is set off by a canon, initiated by the violin con sordino.
