Description
String quartet I is an early work of transition. It was written during a period of migration to Hong Kong. I started it in the rural residency place of Schöppingen (Germany) and finished it on the balcony of a skyscraper in Kowloon. The approach was experimental in the sense that I tried to bypass notation software and compose it entirely as a graphic work, also with regard to classical compositional techniques such as retrograde and inversion. This is where the even grid of the first form section stems from. At the same time, String quartet I is one of my more traditional works. No notated electroacoustics are used. Instead, the work returns to the historical form of the string quartet and tries to translate it to the 21st century, which it will – most probably – not survive. The basis of the notation is, as in all previous works, my treatise Extended notation that unfolds its power here mainly with regard to the percussive possibilities of the string instruments.
