ascent

ensemble & soundtrack for dance

Ascent is a reworking of a piece written for Dance group Leine & Roebana in 2000. Originally a cantus firmus for fixed soundtrack and for 4 random CD players. In 2009 it was reworked for a new performance of Leine and Roebana partly by them and partly by myself. In 2010 it was perofmed with added live musicians, Ensembe MAE & Organ. This was performed 4 times in May at the Orgelpark, Amsterdam together with Cantus from 2000, and 6 new pieces by ex students of mine from the Koninklijk Conservatorium, Diego Soifer, Marija Olijnyk, Tomo Hashimoto, Ilya Ziblat, Hollas Longton and Jeremiah Runnels.
