World premiere of Sleeping patterns by Justė Janulytė for ensemble , co-commissioned by the Ensemble Modern, the London Sinfonietta and the Remix Ensemble
On 8 October in Graz, the Ensemble Modern will premiere Justė Janulytė's latest work for an ensemble of 16 instruments, Sleeping Patterns.
Following this world premiere, a fruitful collaboration between three of the most important European ensembles will lead to a tour of the work performed successively on 6 November at the Casa da Mùsica, conducted by Peter Rundel, on 2 December at the South Bank Centre conducted by Jack Sheen, and on 17 December at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt conducted by Jörg Widmann. So many opportunities to discover this work, an authentic challenge to the monochrome style for which Justė Janulytė is so rightly famous, this time written for a polychromic formation, a "bonsai" version of a larger orchestra (to use the composer’s own poetic terms).
As an exclusive for our readers before diving "into the hypnotic processes of changing intensity and maybe even feeling one’s own pace in this dense polyphony ", here is a video interview with the composer.
