Description

Le Fantôme du Vent is the bass clarinet version of the work for ondes martenot and tape, Le Fantôme des Ondes, commissioned by Celesta in Japan, and premiered by Toshiko Harada at Hiratsuka City Museum, July 1998.One year ago, working on Le Fantôme des Ondes, I dedicated myself to ‘waves’ (ondes in French), in all of their appearances and meanings. During that period I also spoke with Heikki Nikula about composing a work for bass clarinet and tape. So it was to happen that Le Fantôme des Ondes became partly influenced by music not yet in existence; Le Fantôme des Ondes includes elements that are derived from the multiphonic possibilities of the bass clarinet.Unlike the music for ondes martenot, written without direct working contact with musician or instrument, and thus not tried, tested or moulded in their presence, Le Fantôme du Vent is music created in close collaboration with Heikki Nikula and his bass clarinet.Le Fantôme du Vent is, as Le Fantôme des Ondes, a semblance from the world of loss and regain; an expression of ghosts inside and outside of us. The tape has been realized at the SACMUS studio by myself. Le Fantôme du Vent is dedicated to Heikki Nikula.© Jovanka Trbojevic (1999; Musica nova Helsinki)translated by © Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and © Susan SinisaloLe Fantôme du Vent on bassoklarinetille kirjoitettu versio teoksesta Le Fantôme des Ondes ondes martenotille ja ääninauhalle, joka syntyi Celestan tilauksesta Japaniin ja jonka kantaesitti Toshiko Harada Hiratsukan kaupungin museossa heinäkuussa 1998.Vuosi sitten, työskennellessäni Le Fantôme des Ondesin parissa, kiinnostuin aalloista (ransk. ‘ondes’) kaikissa muodoissaan ja merkityksissään. Noihin aikoihin keskustelin myös Heikki Nikulan kanssa bassoklarinetille ja nauhalle kirjoitettavasta teoksesta. Siten Le Fantôme des Ondesiin vaikutti osittain musiikki, jota ei vielä ollut sävellettykään; teoksessa on elementtejä, jotka ovat syntyneet bassoklarinetin multifonisista mahdollisuuksista.Toisin kuin ondes martenotille ilman suoraa kontaktia esittäjän kanssa - kokeilematta, testaamatta ja muokkaamatta - sävelletty musiikki, Le Fantôme du Vent on valmistunut läheisessä yhteistyössä Heikki Nikulan ja hänen bassoklarinettinsa kanssa.Le Fantôme du Vent kasvaa, kuten edeltäjänsäkin, menetyksen ja palautumisen maailmasta; se on ilmaus sisäisille ja ulkoisille aaveillemme. Nauhan olen toteuttanut SACMUS-studiolla. Le Fantôme du Vent on omistettu Heikki Nikulalle."© Jovanka Trbojevic (1999; Musica nova Helsinki)
