Sin Descanso : for blockflutes, tape(cd) and live electronics : 2002/2003 / Roderik de Man
Toelichting:
Sin descanso means: 'without rest.' Jorge Isaac is the type of musicians who tirelessly searches for new possibilities and extensions of his instrumental and musical domain. These musicians are of great importance to composers, because they simulate them to investigate these possibilities and positively exploit the characteristics of their instruments. Sin descanso may be regarded as a journey through a landscape which is formed by the multi-coloured possibilities of the Sopranino, Tenor, Basset and Paetzold Bass. At the beginning as well at the end of the piece is a passage which refers to folk music, starting in 'Sardana fashion', employing the use of playing the Sopranino and a small drum attached to the wrist simultaneously. All sounds in the electronic small drum part were derived from sampled blckflute sounds, a beat on a small drum and improvisations by Jorge Isaac. The larger part of the piece is strictly notated, the musicians, however, is given the opportunity to improvise at certain points. The live and electronic parts are intended to be equal partners, in the end the live musician turns out to be the true soloist after all. - RODERIK DE MAN
