2018-0-07 Iklectik, London – Carla Rees – first performance
Palimpsest is a handwriting, usually on parchment, whose text was scraped and washed away to be replaced with a new one.
The recorded sounds consists of manipulated scratch sounds. The flute has two tonal layers (pentatonic/major scale) to relate to, and there is a gradual movement from the pentatonic to the major scale. At the end, the short melody is played, which is the origin of all other notes.

‘Di là dal fiume e tra gli alberi’ performed by Ann Elkjär @Kalvfestivalen
Di là dal fiume e tra gli alberi (Across the river and into the woods) – the title is from a novel by Hemingway. It’s about death and the story is built upon successive layers of symbolism.
The music in this work is the sum of several layers of musical themes from my earlier compositions. The different layers is repeated with varying distances and tempi, and at times various themes shine through. Alternative fingerings are also used in order to achive rhythmical tone colorations.
This piece was written to Ann Elkjär who also performed it for the first time in 2001. A shorter version for alto flute was shortlisted in a competition arranged by ensemble Rarescale/Carla Rees and The Royal College of Music in London 2004.
