Olga Krashenko: Don't wake the beast in me (2011) by DLSI (Pape/Krashenko)

for tenor recorder and accordion with voice (~5')

The title of the piece comes from a common expression in Russian. It's a warning, trying to stop the other before it becomes too late... If you don't stop, I'll become angry like a bear who is woken up unexpectedly in the middle of the winter!
In this work, contemporary extended instrumental and vocal techniques are used together with music theater, but the listener could discover the border between that which is initially perceived as contemporary music cliché or abstract instrumental/vocal gesture and music that seeks to express real strong feelings that go beyond everything...
