As part of a composition project with solo works for acoustic intruments, sometimes combined with electronics, the piece "Stills" is composed for bass clarinet, electronics and visuals.
The music originates from rhythmical transformations and harmonic shatterings, combined in various patterns to make a series of different tempi audible by stretching and distorting the time.
Stills exists in different formats: as a concert piece with the bass clarinet, the electronics and the visuals in a spatialized multichannel setup and also as a filmed version in stereo.
In its world premiere, Stills was performed by swedish clarinetist Robert Ek.
