Anamorphoses V, for string quartet, is part of the Morphoses cycle that includes pieces with electronics and pieces purely instrumental. The different pieces from this cycle, although distinct in form, follow the same criteria of sound material elaboration. In Anamorphoses V, the main sound material of Anamorphoses IV is applied to new contexts and gradually gaining new expressive qualities.
Angkor
The title Angkor derives from Angkor-Vat. I have never been in Cambodja but the stone decoration of the temples, in their endless choreographies and multiple dances are well known to me. This piece was conceived as a dance suite and is rather straight concerning the tempi. The last dance has a virtuoso character for both players and can eventually be played in concert separately, like an encore. The homophony of the words Angkor and encore contains the joke of the title… This piece was written in 1995 for the KammerensembleN of Stockholm for a series of concerts in Sweden and Holland the same year. Since then, Angkor has has been performed in several music festivals, from Caracas to Lisbon, Aveiro and Zurich.
António Chagas Rosa
Blows Hot and Cold – para quarteto de cordas
A percepção de objectos é sempre subjective e pessoal. Cada um de nós o vai sentir, tocar, olhar… de uma forma diferente. Podemos mesmo imaginar-nos dentro do próprio objecto, sentindo vivencias como que se estivesse vivo.
O título do quarteto de cordas partiu de um poster no qual Dexter Gordan fuma um cigarro.
Blows Hot and Cold é a personificação da relação de Dexter Gordon com o seu cigarro.
