everything but nothing repeats

by Ján Števuliak

for chamber ensemble

Description

in this piece, i explore different perspectives on the idea of 'in between'

the pretext is contrast, and i bridge its inherent opposites. resolute or shy, silence and established sound, process from touching lightly to pressing on the fingerboard, individuality and unity

breathing, not breathing... periodicity of the sea... seagulls flapping their wings... the bicycle wheels turning, propelled by my legs... tide rises

I wrote this piece for the soloists of Ensemble Modern on the occasion of 2025 International Young Composers and Conductors Academy in Ticino, Switzerland.

James Tenney’s writing ‘On form’ was inspiring in terms of form, how I can create a work that includes multiple pieces but is still a unified time continuum
