AB 2013
for alto flute and loud speaker
I like music with more than one layer. And I like titles with more than one meaning - titles with diverse associations that, in spite of their diversity, seemt to match the character of the piece.
What I associated with the title AB: 1. You don't know how to say it: "a-b", or "ab" 2. AB = Anrufbeantworter [German for answering machine] 3. AB is the start of the alphabet. There is more to expect. 4. If we take it as "ab", it's something "ab"-scised, "ab"-rupt 5. A and B could be partners in a dialogue. But what kind of dialogue?
Performance with Tarmo Johannes, flute, and Joachim Heintz, electronics
