Search - International Contermporary Ensemble, Jeffrey Gavett, Kai Wessel :: Czernowin: Winter Songs

No other work marks the changes and developments of Czernowin's work as Wintersongs. The first wintersong was written in 2002 and the last was written in 2014, right after ''Hidden'', which marks the outward cusp of the change in Czernowin's work. While the existential and elemental quality of the music are intensely present as before, the engagement with the slower but entangled temporal perception reveals an immersive quality. The music becomes an experience where rapture and continuity are shaping the sound as if it was a living matter, while creating opening and closing spaces inside the structure.
