Under Luften, Hedås

Under the Air

For Alto recorder, bass clarinet, viola and cello (2002)

This is what Kim herself writes about the music: Muffled and dark timbre or another kind of intensity and lustre? I felt a desire to hear these four instruments together, to provide space for their particular timbres. The first idea was to write a kind of square music, with very restrained expressions. The last idea was to let the music become whatever it wanted to, more diverse and free, with the square as a background. "Under the Air" is music about that which perhaps is not visible, but is constantly going on - below time, below ground, below the surface.
