Konstantinos Sifakis - Three Worlds for Flute, Oboe and Bassoon (2019) [Score-Video]

Konstantinos Sifakis - Three Worlds for Flute, Oboe and Bassoon (2019) Dr. Eftihia Arkoudis, flute Christos Tsogias-Razakov, oboe Andreas Anthopoulos, bassoon Program Notes: A musical interpretation of ’s work ’Three Worlds’. The trio consists of three movements, each one describing a different world. The underwater world symbolises our inner self, our emotions and deep thoughts. The surface of the water represents our social life and the leaves can be seen as the masses. In the air above the water we can find our subconscious, our dreams. I attempted to translate characteristic concepts of Escher’s work such as fractals, tesselation and mirrors into sound. In the first movement, I created a musical fractal that appears in a triple canon (tesselation), creating a whirlpool that leads to the bottom of the lake of feelings and thoughts. The second movement is a techno that gets gradually decomposed, leading to the chaos of the mass.
