about

Lasse Marhaug - Our Forbidden Land (2022)
For piccolo, flute, alto flute, bass flute, and electronics
Last year, Alessandra asked me to write a piece for her. Knowing that she was an incredible musician, I was both flattered and excited to be asked, but I knew next to nothing about the flute, nor do I write in traditional notation—my background is in electronic noise music. To simply write a piece for Alessandra on my own would be impossible, so the effort would have to be collaborative.
We began with Alessandra showing me the wide range of possibilities on her instruments, after which I suggested visual images for her to interpret sonically. I recorded the results, edited and manipulated the tracks, and constructed the foundation for the piece from a mix of clean and processed audio. Alessandra subsequently listened to my audio composition and created her own parts that would blend with my studio construction. The finished piece became a multilayered sonic tapestry in which all the sounds originate from Alessandra's flute playing.
My idea was that this piece should be like a misty landscape where elements come and go and often blur together, giving the listener a sense of scale and depth. There is no strong sense of a beginning or a climactic conclusion. The piece is like opening a window, and you get a sense that it has already started and will continue beyond the time you listen to it.
