Sasso

Solo for percussion (vibraphone and marimba) and recorded sounds.
The piece is dedicated to Jerker Johansson who also performed it the first time 20th Oct 2018 in Ale Kulturrum.

Sasso (italian for “stone”) is an exploration of the sound world of stones. Together with the wood in the marimban and the metal in the vibraphone, it becomes a trio for three materials. The notes played by the percussionists are “distilled” from recordings of stone sounds. The pitchless sounds turned out to contain fragments of tones which have been joined together into a longer context.
