Скачать или смотреть VIII Drift and Dissolve, Veils of Echo and Silence {Mallets,Euphonium,Bass Clar ,Synths}

Veils of Echo and Silence by David-Ezra Okonsar is a collection of ten modern, atonal pieces that explores the depths of sonic textures and temporal fluidity.

Written for a unique ensemble of mallet percussion (marimba, glass marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, and tuned gongs), euphonium, bass clarinet, and electronic keyboards, each piece unveils its own distinct "veil" of sound—layers of resonance and silence that interact, build, and dissipate within the listening space.

The unconventional instrumentation creates a spectrum of timbres, combining the percussive shimmer of mallets with the mellow, sonorous qualities of the euphonium, the rich tone and wide dynamic range of the bass clarinet, and the versatile tonal palette of synthesizers.

Veils of Echo and Silence, a collection of ten modern, atonal pieces by David-Ezra Okonsar, is a musical exploration that evolves within a world of shifting textures. Rather than traditional harmonic or melodic development, the work emphasizes mood and abstract narrative. Each movement is a sound portrait, combining fragmented melodies, delicate dissonances, and intricate interplay between instruments, inviting the audience to engage with the mood of the music.

The absence of a tonal center opens up possibilities for atmospheric exploration, where sounds can resonate, linger, and gradually dissolve. The euphonium and bass clarinet frequently exchange melodic and harmonic fragments, at times blending into indistinguishable tonal colors, while mallet instruments punctuate the space with both rhythm and resonance.

Okonsar's compositional language draws inspiration from the concept of "veils" as layers of perception, with each movement acting as a different layer to be uncovered, glimpsed, or hinted at. Some pieces may evoke a sense of suspended time, a kind of musical stasis, while others pulse with rhythmic vitality or surprise through unexpected bursts of sound. Through extended techniques and creative use of silence, the work invites listeners to move beyond typical structures and to focus on subtle details—small gestures, fading echoes, and the delicate balance between sound and silence.

Veils of Echo and Silence challenges the ensemble to work within these nuances, exploring soft dynamics, complex rhythms, and fluid interconnections between their parts. Each piece presents a distinct mood, from the haunting and ephemeral to the dense and rhythmically complex, allowing Okonsar to explore the broader spectrum of atonal soundscapes. In this contemplative sonic journey, the listener becomes attuned to subtle contrasts, experiencing the music as a sequence of impressions, each contributing to the elusive, almost mystical atmosphere Okonsar creates.
