Composer:
Fabian Svensson
Instrumentation:
4 electric guitars, percussion, bass guitar
Year of composition:
2005
Duration:
10'
Program note:
Klubbmusik could be regarded as the last part of a trilogy of pieces, the first two being Alone Together for double bass and piano, and Aldrig mer Skinnskatteberg for string orchestra. In all three pieces a special technique of playing string instruments is employed, where harmonics are produced by striking the strings with mallets. It is only with Klubbmusik and the use of electric guitars that this technique is really made justice, as these instruments possess the built-in amplification necessary to make clear the very soft sounds produced by it.
