OUTPUT FESTIVAL 2007 PETER ADRIAANSZ – PRANA (WORLD PREMIERE) CATCH, SLAGWERKGROEP DEN HAAG, NEDERLANDS VOCAAL LABORATORIUM

i.c.w. Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, NPS Radio 4

A great chamber musical work of the composer that proved to be able to write excellent and original work for electric guitars (Output Festival 2004) and also for drums and vocalists. Now, for the first time, a composition for these three instruments together can be heard. Adriaansz’s music can be characterized by a formalistic, conceptual approach in which the structure of the sound and ‘audible mathematic’ are the main ingredients. The result is fascinating, emotional music. Adriaansz based his newest oratorium Prana on texts of the Bagavadgita and Augustinus.
