Utilt Mono
Utilt Mono (2024)
For amplified double-bass flute, baritone saxophone, electric guitar, piano/keyboard, percussion and electronics
Commission by The Black Page Orchestra
Utilt Mono (2024) was composed for the 10th anniversary of the Black Page Orchestra, an ensemble I have a deep connection with and have been member of since day one.
The Black Page Orchestra expressed a rich variety of musical aesthetics and styles in its first decades and is committed to keep on with this tradition in the future. My work tries to reflect that committment with a fluid and rather eclectic array of musical ideas. The piece puts together a series of contrasting and constantly moving musical gestures and blends together the acoustical instruments and the electronics in a schizophrenic fashion. All this musical gestures, touching various genres, create a sound haywire – a musical tilt.
