Jitter means trembling caused by asyncronicity in electric signals,
for example in a video signal. In this piece I wanted to examine the
characteristics of harmonic and intervallic colours in relation to
rhythmical colours. I transformed my harmonic collection into
overlapping nets of speed and tempi. The rhythmical design is made of
several simultaneous regular rhythms and pulses, as if a number of
different kind of necklaces were brought together. With this I wanted
to open the harmonic colours into rhythmical oscillations and tensions
which you could hear and compare just as with harmony. The first
performance of Jitter was at the Musica Nova Helsinki 2007 Festival by
Uusinta ensemble, to which the work is dedicated.
