							Description:
						
						
						Out of Control is an orchestral work in which the material  takes the most unforeseen directions, seemingly uncontrolled (or 'out of control'). Usually, when writing a piece, a composer tries to keep full control of his material. Notes often want to go in a certain direction by themselves, but sometimes as a composer you disagree with that direction (“no, this is too kitschy”) and then you exercise control to prevent the music from going in that direction. In this piece I wanted to see to what extent I could relinquish control and let the material take its own course.
The result is a piece that has something unbridled and spontaneous, but at the same time it is based on a carefully constructed ABABA structure (to avoid formlessness): the A sections consist of slow, reveling music - which may have both associations and evokes ambient-like music like Gustav Mahler's adagios -, while both B-sections consist of very energetic and rhythmic passages culminating in a climactic moment. In these B-sections, the unforeseen turns of the material are also most clearly audible: in the first B-section, for example, a grotesque fairground waltz suddenly appears, while in the second B-section the music gradually moves towards wild, pounding pop rhythms…
