Quarantine Music Nº 2: "Zanshin" : for double bass a cappella / Amos Elkana

Toelichting:
Quarantine music is a series of works for solo instruments with multiple parts. It can be played by a single musician recording each part and then combining them or by multiple musicians each playing one of the parts. In a concert situation a single player (or more) can play one of the parts while the remaining prerecorded parts are played back through speakers.
Zanshin (Quarantine Music No. 2) is composed for double bass a cappella. It has four roles and is in three movements. Zanshin is the state when the mind is fully vigilant and aware of its surroundings; when the mind remains still without being attached to anything and is totally present during every moment and action in the here and now.
Amos Elkana
