about
“I started to work on a waltz, which led me to my writing a group of pieces for Dan. Three Dances is in three contrasting movements. Waltz begins with a gentle melody, played pizzicato, which gradually moves towards a ’grotesque’ feel. The music moves between lyricism and the grotesque in a waltz which would be difficult for dancers because of the changing 3/4 and 2/4 bars scheme, alongside hemiolas. The second dance, Song of the Old Land, is full of lyricism where the bass sings an endearing lullaby. I looked for inspiration in the idea of old songs of the Nordic peoples and wrote in a way that is very vocal, but without equable measure. Infernal Dance is a fast movement brimming with great virtuosic passages where I have worked with new ideas and developed some ideas from Dance No. 2.
This is a powerful dance with great rhythmic momentum and technical challenges for the performer. I would define the language as Soul of Rock music with some Stravinskian colours.
The result is three very contrasting dances where I aimed to explore different aspects of the double bass.” Three Dances was commissioned by and dedicated to Dan Styffe and premiered by him in Almere, the Netherlands on 27 August at BASS2014.

Peerless "punk" jazz. I particularly love the sound of the drums & the trumpet. Sweet, intense, full of fervor.
