Appearances – Rolf Wallin

about
“This planet has seen many lifeforms emerge and vanish on its surface. Each of them has had a lifespan, long or short. A species can be marginal or totally dominant, and its extinction can be almost imperceptibly gradual or dramatically abrupt. Similarly, in human history, great and not so great ideas, good and evil, have appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in a bewildering, fascinating stream. The Earth is full of these patterns, like a midsummer's sky: the clouds emerge literally from thin air, grow, reshape and vanish, the fate of each of them impossible to predict for the spectator.” - Rolf Wallin

Composer and avant-garde performance artist Rolf Wallin has established a reputation as one of the leading Scandinavian composers of his generation. Much of his music combines an intuitive freedom with a rigorous mathematical approach, such as use of fractal algorithms to construct melody and harmony. But far from being abstract, Wallin’s music often connects directly with the world around him. rolfwallin.org

Clouded Yellow
by Kronos Quartet & Michael Gordonsupported by 4 fans who also own “Appearances – Rolf Wallin”
I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out.

A cycle of 9 duets, “Isolario” is by turns intricate, sparse, mysterious, and moving.
