Work & Edition Details
Although EMBODIED: Violin Solo (2018) is through-composed and fully-notated, it is also simultaneously a communal halting by the sound produced in front of our ears by the observant, empathetic and touching coexistence and presence of a violinist and (t)he(i)r violin, who share a life together. Compositionally (in)formed meeting of two resonant material bodies. A loving squeeze.
The score, written in four days (the act of composing had, for the most part, happened by then), is both documenting the sounds produced at the meeting of the composer and the performer—both armed with violins under their chins—as well as a starting point for the violinist Eriikka Maalismaa's (the work's commissioner and premierer) astounding capabilities to find immeasurable sonic nuances from her instrument. The violin's wooden-metallic corporeality is gently tickled, stroked and excited in musically embodied compassion.
The composition process began with a month-long meditative 'deep-sea sounding' on a borrowed violin in Trastevere, Rome.
EMBODIED is a cycle of works(-in-progress) in which the empathetic resonances of subtle corporeal nuances in musical sound are offered as a composed communal concert experience. Plans so far include music for violin, voice (soprano), tuba and percussionist. Separately, solo, alone – but also together, in all the possible formations. The different combinations from duos and trios to the full quartet (and beyond?) offer unique forms where individualism is reflected on the communal. Methodically, these works explore close, explorative composer-performer collaboration. As of writing (May 2019), the first two solo pieces, and their duo, exist.
