To Walk the Night
The geometry of collision.
Vertical drift.
Absence. Colour (light).
Expansion of contiguity into the shape of unity.
Events’ horizon.
Singularity.
In the darkness the dream of her. Time stands still.
The piece was written in 2002. It was premiered on 1
September 2003 by Nieuw Ensemble conducted by Jurjen Hempel, during the
Gaudeamus International Music Week in Amsterdam.
