the snake that eats its own tail (for cello, bass clarinet, tuba and tuned oscillators)
_________________
the snake that eats its own tail emerges from my ongoing exploration of harmonic worlds where the Western dichotomy between major and minor modes begins to dissolve. Composed entirely in 11-limit just intonation—a tuning system based on the natural harmonic series that allows for intervals expressed as whole-number ratios—the piece invites listeners into a space where familiar tonal reference points become blurred.
Performed by Carl Rosman – bass clarinet, Dirk Wietheger – cello, Maxime Morel – tuba, Carlos Lopes – oscillators;
world premiere of the piece: June 27, 2025, Studio of Ensemble Musikfabrik, Cologne (DE)
