Ascending, Folded by Alex Nikiporenko published on 2018-01-03T11:24:48Z The title of the piece comes from the process behind it: permutations of a number row are converted into an ascending row of intervals (e.g. A to Z), which is then folded in half (e.g. AZBYCX). The original number row (322111) is then used to determine other elements of the piece—such as the appearance of the longer held notes. The result is this resonant, minimal piece. "Ascending, Folded" was written for Ruben Zilberstein and premiered by him at the Örebro Contemporary Music Festival. The piece was recorded live in 840: New Music for Violin and Piano on the 16 December 2017 at St James' Islington. Genre Experimental
