Programme Notes
Quietly sailing through a suspended landscape, Circling Point focuses on the timbre of the instruments in a slow, yet almost constantly pulsating, meditation. As if in one breath, the piece sees a gradual expansion of pitch and intensity. A whispered sotto voce line threads two voices together in a delicate and intimate dialogue where they are constantly influenced by the other. The material develops akin to a photo gradually emerging in a dark room. Tomas Transtromer's poem Ostinato resounds with the piece, which is where the title Circling Point is found.
