Notes

Programme notes

The score, with a multiple meaning title, was finished just before the start of the Vis Workshop, where it was first performed. Using the word disorder and its multiple meanings, in a sense of mess, noise, disarray and restiveness, the composer reached into the sound estetics of everyday life marked with chaos and anarchy. Its title and play on words undoubtably point to diversity in creating shapes as counterbalance between the sense of Disorder and Order, based around D-sharp (dis in Croatian). Critics described the piece as exploration of the clashes between independent sound fields, between which a fine sense of tension and drama is created, until the unexpected dissolution.
