Description

Fast Darkness II: I freeze and melt is a sister piece to Fast Darkness I: I can see your turned eyes from inside your body. In both pieces there is a strong tilting and stretching or condensing of time. In Fast Darkness II the idea of the orchestral color is extended to notions of white on white: a whole section where color has been taken away, sucked in. The cyclical but unpredictable movements of gestures spiraling out of control is incoherent with the idea of fire, its various atmospheres, form the warmth and protectedness or its destructive uncontrolled force. The piece seems to look at the strange unpredictability of movement between these two states.
