Met de kromming mee
for ensemble

By playing independently in time, the musicians create spaces for personal expression while causing a collective sound mass. At the center of the piece is the Hammond Organ, playing long tones with shifting harmonics, shaped by gradually moving the instrument’s drawbars. These changing colours form a foundation, a kind of curve, to which the other instruments ground and relate.
