by Anders Flodin Part 1 Interdisciplinary art is an art form where several different artistic disciplines (such as visual arts, music, dance, theater, digital media, etc.) are combined and integrated to create a new, cross-border expression, often to explore complex themes beyond a single art form, which creates unique experiences and new creative possibilities. MyContinue reading “A possible inspiration for understanding the principles of general systems and their ability to self-evolve as a unity – Daniel Vlček as idea and reality.”

by Anders Flodin While I was analyzing this short piano composition by Per Nørgård, I received news that Per had passed away. His music, thoughts, ideas, which have been an unlimited sphere in which I have moved freely in all directions, will continue to exist. I feel very grateful for his friendship and as anContinue reading “A short analysis of “The Dunes” by Per Nørgård”

by Anders Flodin Preparations  Composition is as much about seeking as it is about creating, but then what? Entrances to reality, openings to the world. When I started composing my composition Le foglie verdi di salice piangente sul fiume (My translation: The green leaves of the weeping willow on the river) for the Teo ChewContinue reading “The transformation and experience from idea to sounding gesture – some thoughts about the process and my meeting with Teo Chew music”

Non sappiamo come suonasse, ma possiamo solo indovinarlo sulla base dei ritrovamenti archeologici, ad esempio di flauti fatti di argilla o osso.Continue reading “Welcome speech (in Italian)”

by Anders Flodin Musical composition is largely a practice-based knowledge, phronesis (Ancient Greek: φρόνησῐς, romanized: phrónēsis), which has been developed in parallel and in close collaboration with singers and instrumentalists throughout music history.  What can I learn from this knowledge in a new age where technology is another dimension in the artistic work? As partContinue reading “C as in Computer and Composition”

by Anders Flodin I colori di silenzio Att göra en exakt gradering av ett ackords konsonans/dissonans och stabilitet/labilitet i förhållande till ett annat är praktiskt omöjligt.  What were the circumstances leading to these episodes and how did these phenomena apply to music? Varierande och processuella idéer är öppna, de tillåter modifikationer, avvikelser, infall och subjektivitet.Continue reading “I colori di silenzio”

by Anders Flodin Sometimes, it is impossible to say why and how a composition works or affects me. I can listen to a piece of music that fills me with feelings and thoughts, obviously conveyed by the composition, but without being able to connect the feelings and thoughts back to it and say, for example,Continue reading “Voyage into the Golden Screen – Experiencing Music, Expressing Culture”

by Anders Flodin Three minutes and twelve seconds into PEXO (see link below), about half of the way through the movement, voices suddenly exclaim – very loudly – a short reiterated guttural phrase. It eventually turns into a unison exclamation “It’s not hard at all” with everyone in the ensemble. Walter Thompson’s art is engagingContinue reading “I met Walter Thompson at the zebra crossing”
