Maskine 2

8/3/2014

I am preparing intensively for the world premiere of " Maskine" by Toke Odin, which will take place on April 8th ( see upcoming events) :

The set up, consisting 14 metals formerly used for machines,  is 87 percent ready ( still lacking 2 metals hanging for the foot pedal and minor adjustments).

It has taken a long time for composer Toke Odin ( who is also the instrument builder for this piece) to take off sharp edges and the buzzy noises from the metals. The sounds are amazing -some of the big metals sounds like church bells,  only more raw and " dirty". 

This set-up is an art work itself depicting the core idea of the music. 

This is probably the most difficult piece I have ever played ( more than Xenakis' Psappha!)  as it is 20 minutes of variations of polyrhythms ( sometimes 6 voices together, with 4 mallets and both feet)  without any breaks. 

However, if played well, it is very effective- I am working on the endurance and many difficult  polyrhythms patterns.
