Description:
Sunrise, Phoenix and Nocturnal Symphony are three paintings by Emil Ciocoiu forming the Water Song trilogy. In my composition, I did not musically "describe" these paintings in a programmatic manner, but I took them as a starting point of inspiration from which a piece of music was born. It is a Phoenix-like rebirth, only without the destructive part. In adding a new creation without destroying the older one, both creations can come together as they did during the world première of "Water Song" at the ZARVA Festival. There, Emil Ciocoiu's paintings were exhibited directly behind the ensemble, creating a new visual-auditive experience for the audience.
