Description
Omega is not only the last letter in the Greek alphabet – it also means ‘the end’. Five notes descend from the top to the bottom, one note at a time, in a similarly cascading rhythm of 5-4-3-2-1. The repetitions aim towards the end of the music, which ends as soon as the repetitions are to begin again. The music is a sort of countdown that always has an end – but what remains after that? At times, the solo viola resists this fateful count and drives fresh blood through the work like an aorta, then disappears leaving remnants of itself in the wake. Atsuhiko Gondai
