Dense

Dense is twelve minutes long and was originally composed for eight Speakers at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion), Stockholm, Sweden.

The music of Dense is based on ideas of spatiality in relation to time. Spatial and temporal changes in the music's movements provide a continuously changing polyphony. Imaginary sites, rooms, positions and directions are the basis of the music. Perforations, holes and voids from the sound material are superimposed, while structures with varying degrees of density are created. The music alternates between becoming dense, packed or airy. In Dense, the imaginary room is dark and lacks the bottom, the room slowly draws the music down and sinks deeper towards the darkness.
