Description
The compositional form has usually been more or less free in my works. I have let the form, in a way, find it’s own shape after an organic compositional process. However in this case I decided to do otherwise. First I constructed a very strict and detailed predetermined form. The result was a kind of a mould in which I then had to cast the music. This task wasn't as easy as it might sound. The music had to be forged very carefully that it would finally fit the predetermined form, hence the title 'Forged'.
