Stonewave (1990) is the basis for Mountainwave (2021) which opened the concert. It is a work written for percussion trio based on fractals – complex, detailed and beautiful visual patterns emanating from mathematical formulas. One could easily expect that music becomes clinical and distant with such an origin, but we are dealing with patterns that are beautiful in the outset, and besides, the musical creation lies in Wallin's translation from mathematics to music. ....a window into [Wallin's] captivating world.
