fold III

In fold III for oboe the musician is confronted with a score with 2 staves from which one must find a way through; from simple to extremely complex and preferably a new way for every performance. Think of it like the movement of life, in particular organisms, which internalize small aspects of their milieu until they no longer need those aspects of the milieu to survive, or the cosmos that follows a systolic-diastolic unfolding & folding whereby explosions of difference are followed up by selection and accretion, only to expand again (“an origami universe” in Deleuze’s words).

The fold is the form of connection: open-ended & inexhaustive, non-exlusive and unlimited, exterior & infinite.
