Percussion/Live Electronics

The Percussion/Live Electronics can be performed by one percussion/live electronic player or by two or more groups of percussion/live electronic players. At the premiere there were four groups of one percussionist and two live electronic players each, 12 musicians in total. They were spread out in the concert hall among the audience. When these parts are played by more than one player, it is open to interpretation in, for instance, which musicians plays which parts in the score. The basic idea is that everyone plays everything that is notated, but to get an organic form the musicians might want to decide otherwise at some points, and also find a common direction and variation in the dynamics by deciding more details.

Jesper Nordin *1971

The live electronics can be done as treatments of the percussion sounds, computer generated material, or a combination of both. The character of the sounds both in the live electronics and the percussion parts are to be bass heavy, gritty and with a rich internal life, both the drones and the rhythms.

1:st Retrospective is the first piece in a series of orchestral pieces where I go back to earlier material and look at it in a different way. I do this mostly by re-composing existing material through my apps Gestrument and ScaleGen where I can import the ”musical DNA” of a piece and then see what else can be obtained from the same material.

Litolff/Peters 33951

At the writing of this piece it is fifteen years since I graduated from the Royal College of Music in 2001. When I graduated it was fifteen years since I first started playing music in a local punk band in 1986. Therefore my graduation from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm marks half time of my active musical life, and that seemed like a good starting point for a new series of pieces that focus on retrospection and self-reflection.

The second piece in this series will be premiered by Brandenburg Symfoniker in 2018. It is a commission that was awarded when my orchestral piece Ärr (part of the trilogy Röster) won the Brandenburg Biennale in 2014.

Commissioned by KMH - Royal College of Music in Stockholm - for the inauguration of the new hall Premiered by KMH Orchestra conducted by B Tommy Andersson at KMH 26/1 2017

For more than 200 years, Edition Peters has been synonymous with excellence in classical music publishing. Established in 1800 with the keyboard works of J. S. Bach, by 1802 the company had acquired Beethoven’s First Symphony. In the years following, an active publishing policy enabled the company to acquire new works by composers such as Brahms, Grieg and Liszt, continuing into the twentieth century with Richard Strauss, Arnold Schoenberg and John Cage.

Today, as the publisher of living composers from around the world, Edition Peters continues its role as a champion of new music while continuing to develop its historic and education catalogues with award-winning critical and pedagogical editions.

Seit über 200 Jahren steht die Edition Peters für höchste Qualität im Bereich klassischer Notenausgaben. Gegründet im Jahr 1800, begann der Verlag seine Tätigkeit mit der Herausgabe von Bachs Tastenmusik. Schon zwei Jahre später waren die Rechte an Beethovens erster Sinfonie hinzugekommen. In der Folgezeit wuchs der Katalog um neue Werke von Komponisten wie Brahms, Grieg und Liszt. Diese Tradition fand ihre Fortsetzung im 20. Jahrhundert in der Zusammenarbeit mit Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönberg und John Cage.

Als Verleger zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Komponisten aus aller Welt ist die Edition Peters auch weiterhin Anwalt neuer Musik. Zugleich wird das Verlagsprogramm im klassischen wie im pädagogischen Bereich kontinuierlich durch vielfach preisgekrönte Ausgaben erweitert.
