Programme notes

About the composition Ich vergesse Dich nicht:
„The possibility of this kind of fourteen instrumentalists ensemble to create numerous colours of different sound registers and instrumental groups, from solos and details to the complex tutti sound“ – as the author wrote – „seems magical to me. In a three movement form, I tried to make a new step in unifying intuitive, abstract and „visual“ musical ideas with the adequate structures of tone and rhythm. The material in its entirety is a result of algorythmic process which I develop using IRCAM's computer program MAX for the last 17 years. The title (I won't forget you) addresses many friendships, acquaintances and meetings with the people from different cultures and nationalities in cosmopolic Amsterdam, which were unforgettable to me.
The piece was written on the encouragement of the MBZ and it's dedicated to Cantus Ensemble, who made new and significant steps in promotion and performance quality of the contemporary music in Croatia.“
