... Now ... : for symmetrical spacial orchestra and multimedia (version for large orchestra) / JacobTV - Jacob Ter Veldhuis; videos: Studio Drupsteen

Auteur(s):
Veldhuis, Jacob ter (Componist)
Toelichting:
‘Now is the cursor of time, that eternal moment, which separates past and future and in which our existence is taking place. The past is no more than a memory from what once was ‘now’, and the future is a rather vague fantasy about what may become ‘now’ some day. Music –like us– can only exist in the present. Music is now. …NOW… is not a variation on a theme, but an associative stream of developments, just like the present: constant, but always different. The pulse of passing time however is always visible and audible. Echo is an important element in …NOW… both in the video –as frames of frozen time – as well as in the score. An echo is an acoustic delay, a natural sample. It is a ‘sound still’: a memory from an earlier present. The echoes in …NOW… become reality by the orchestral setting, which is spacial and symmetrical in groups.
Echoes ping pong from left to right and vice versa, creating a ‘responsorial groove’, a spacial play with time, like a permanent pendulum motion between past and future, the present being in the center. ….NOW… is an ode to the present, it deals with the time in which we live.’ Jaap Drupsteen & JacobTV
