Between the Lines

Björk Guðmundsdóttir is one of the key recording artists of the 21st century. Moving effortlessly between disciplines and genres so fluidly it would shame David Bowie, Björk has tackled neo-classical, showtunes, house, pop, indie as well as acting (winning best actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her turn in Dancer In The Dark) and creating a visual template for her work that is staggeringly rich. Björk has used collaboration as a key part of her work and her work available in sheet music is perhaps her most radical example of this. In her own words ?I wanted to question how I felt about musical documentation, when CDs were slowly becoming obsolete, I was curious about the difference of midi (digital notation) and classical notation and enthusiastic in blurring the lines and at which occasions and how one would share music in these new times. What is the difference of karaoke and the lyrical recitals of the 19th century? Can one meet at bonfires and sing techno songs? (well icelanders do obvs) Maybe I should share digital notation that people could connect to their synths or do harpsichord versions of electronic beats to enjoy in the living rooms and hopefully families singalong to?.

Karl Aage Rasmussen's Etudes And Postludes (1989-90) for Piano solo.Programme NoteThe title suggests two kinds of music: something which is far away maybe almost out of reach but which you nevertheless try to embrace; and something close and familiar which you are taking leave of. Thus in a sense the pieces form a diary. The Postludes allude to other musics former music of my own and of others. The Etudes open new doors – they make use of working strategies and mind models that were quite new to me at the time. Piecesrelated to Charles Ives Igor Stravinsky and Friedric Chopin (together with a ragtime and a mournful melody) form the basis for a music pointing backwards – the Postludes. The Etudes are all based on different kinds of multiplication where a few notes or a tiny musical module repeatedly twists back on itself and closes a loop. The general name for this is self-reference and the Etudes reflect themselves endlessly the way a mirror mirrors another mirror. The result is that rhythmic and melodic patterns emerge unpredictably like gifts from unknown muses. Etudes and Postludes was commissioned by the late Yvar Mikhashoff and they are dedicated to his memory and to their first performer Erik Kaltoft. And between lines also to György Ligeti the re-discovered and sophisticated master of the classic etude for piano. The pieces can be played in any number and in any order. It is left to the discretion of the player to group pieces in suites respecting simple rules of variety.Karl Aage Rasmussen
