Svetlana Mara拧's Weavers and John Lely's Orrery

Tom Service explores the margins of sound with a new work from Svetlana Mara拧, John Lely's hypnotic Orrery for piano and George Crumb's Black Angels.

New Music Show: Tom Service explores the margins of sound with the premiere of a new work at Musikprotokoll from the Serbian composer and sound artist, Svetlana Mara拧. There's also 'Orrery,' a piano piece of hypnotic beauty from John Lely in which, in a score consisting of 36 pages of crotchets - looking almost like wallpaper- he gently explores, through subtle changes, the tones, colours, balances and sonorities of the piano. It takes its title from mechanical models of the Solar System and lies on the cusp of human and mechanical performance. And, as a tribute to George Crumb, the Kronos Quartet plays Black Angels, "Thirteen Images from the Dark Land," his savagely eloquent response to the Vietnam War.
