This piece narrates the story of a man who could no longer cope with his daily life. Overwhelmed by sadness and emotionally unstable, he found himself immobile, contemplating his life as if it were someone else’s.

The main melodies in this piece represent this man’s voice. We can hear him thinking out loud, wondering about the meaning of his life, about his achievements and failures and about how truthful the love of the people around him really is. Towards the end of the first movement this man decides to let himself die. The piece’s second movement aims to represent this man’s journey towards the afterlife.

A Nocturnal Sun was written for Asko|Schoenberg Ensemble and it premiered on 20th April 2012 at the WMDC in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
