1st Retrospective (2016)
(for orchestra and live-electronics)

1:st Retrospective (2016), 10’ Orchestra and live electronics 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.

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.
