ADRIAN DEMOC (SK) Some explanations about 3 compositions: 1. Contrario of Brno in the night (Contrario nočného Brna) Contrario nočného Brna is writen for fujara, Slovak traditional instrument, alt saxophone and the pre-recorded sounds. This composition is written in a bridge form (ABCDCBA), with fujara and saxophone playing just two block and overlapping the bridge, symbolizing the introvert part of a human mind, a solitary person, feelings of being alone. On the contrary, most of the sounds from the beginning and the end of the piece are taken from the loud places – pub, disco.. 2. Lešenie k zahĺbeniu (Scaffold to the meditation) Lešenie k zahĺbeniu (Scaffold to the meditation) is written for alt (or bass) flute, alt saxophone, bass clarinet, bassoon, trombone (or french horn), and percussion (gongs and tam-tam). The piece should make the listener to make his own “personal ritardando”, to slow down the running way of life. One chord is slightly flowing, trembling (by exactly written vibrato) less and less, making the same process twice, arriving to the chant and letting (with 3 rd “rounding”) the musical act opened… I wrote most of this piece in Lithuania and finished it in Czech republic, all the time concerned just about the musical “being” of the piece. But rehearsaling the piece with the musicians, I found out that this music also speaks about the rain and the nostalgical feelings in the trams of Vilnius. 3. Ozvena My piece for violin, cello, percussion and electronics is based on different ways of using of the echo - these are for example : instrumentation doublings, echo from the microphone, reverbs, double delay, waving of the punctually written vibrato...musical material is restricted on several chords (and pitches) and the interaction between them. The piece is called "Echo" (Ozvena in slovak language) (in the metaphorical - echoes of the emotions and literal-compositional meaning). Also the dynamical aspect is restricted - microphones help to catch the "actions" inside.. Name: MgA. Adrián Demoč; Address: Záhonok 1959/33, 96001 Zvolen, Slovakia; Contact address: C/Amadeo I.
