Duration: 12'
Fp: Ensemble U:, Helsinki, 21 November, 2009

I composed the chamber music work Anklang (2009) originally when the multi-artistic Stallarte Festival Göttingen invited me as their composer-in-focus. In German, 'Anklang finden' means finding reverberation, or mutual understanding, on a matter, and thus the work delves into different unisono situations and "new" kind of listening.

Even as the work is perceived as something rather sensually-oriented, it doesn't even try to shake all the echoes (Anklänge) of those influences of the Central-European music-making that I have wanted to elaborate in my work, and vicinity of which I've recently wanted to be in. For the Estonian Ensemble U: I made a new version to fit their instrumentarium; celebrating the work's premiere in Helsinki I also translated the title into Finnish.
