Stacy Garrop began hiking in northern Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park in her early 20s. From the start, she was drawn to a jagged stretch of rock formations linking Longs Peak to Pagoda Mountain, at over 13,000 feet. These formations are called the “Keyboard of the Winds,” as their thin, spindly peaks suggest splintered keys of an old, broken piano. Inspired by one particular journey the composer took through the Keyboard of the Winds en route to Pagoda’s summit, this work is a tribute to the Keyboard of the Winds. Its fast, whirling gestures depict swirling clouds above, and the musical high points represent a hiker reaching the peak of Pagoda Mountain. These sections are set in contrast with quiet, introspective material embodying the hiker quietly surveying the grandeur and beauty of the valley below, as well as the soaring pinnacle of Longs Peak overhead.
I began hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado when I was in my early twenties. RMNP is home to some of the most gorgeous mountains in North America, encompassing 265,000 acres of wilderness, flora, and fauna. Among the park’s numerous summits is Longs Peak, a mountain that is 14,259 feet high (the highest in the region). From my earliest days of hiking, I was drawn to Longs Peak, as well as to a jagged stretch of rock formations that link Longs Peak to Pagoda Mountain (which stands at 13,497 feet). These formations are called the Keyboard of the Winds, as their thin, spindly peaks loosely suggest the splintered keys of an old, broken piano.One summer, I made the ascent to Pagoda Mountain using a route that took me along the right side of the Keyboard of the Winds. My hiking partner and I started up the trail in the pre-dawn hours, and the weather was stormy. Dawn had broken by the time we reached the base of the Keyboard, but its peaks were still surrounded by clouds. As we climbed higher and higher, the Keyboard’s thin spires became visible, along with the top of Pagoda Mountain. We reached the summit of Pagoda, admired the view (what we could see through the clouds), and made our descent.My piece is a tribute to the Keyboard of the Winds. The fast, whirling gestures depict swirling clouds, and the musical high points represent a hiker reaching the peaks of the Keyboard. I have contrasted these sections with quiet, introspective material; these embody the hiker quietly surveying the grandeur and beauty of the valley below (on a cloudless day), as well as the soaring pinnacles of Longs Peak and Pagoda Mountain overhead.

I got the word ambig[uous] from Thomas Bauer: Die Vereindeutigung der Welt (Stuttgart: Reclam 2018). In this booklet, the author speaks out against a restrictive, perhaps even limited unambiguity and sets fundamentaism against cultures of ambiguity. Born out of the duality of the human body, I work in this piece with two hands, two fingers, two feet and the combinations of sound and touch developed from them. Only at the end, a new (double or single) sound is added. This does not at all correspond to a cohesive concept of material, just as the use of our body limbs in reverse is deliberately very close to the subject, even when several performers play synchronously or choreographed. In Schnebel's case, this was still material available to everyone. I think of it more as a counter to VR (virtual reality). I do like to still be able to open my refrigerator with my own hand, and not have a hacker interfering. In Clash Music, a pair of cymbals, the proletarians of many kinds of music, is elevated to an instrument capable of expression and structure. Clash Music and ambig ought to be played together as one piece - rather RV than VR! Added as a third piece can be rappig (25 seconds, see page IV). Any possible combination of two or three pieces can be selected. (Nicolaus A. Huber, 2019)On the audio sample Luk Wolf performs the text of rappig.

Tarkiainen writes: The Lustful Mother's Heart is a solo work that plumbs the depths of one of the most fundamental human instincts - the tie between a mother and her new-born child that, as day follows day, becomes less part of its mother's body. The work develops themes from my song cycle The Lustful Mother in which long solo viola passages strike to the very heart of down-to-earth, natural womanhood. The Lustful Mother's Heart was born at a very special moment in my life when my second child was spending his first weeks in this world. The viola song kept company with us night and day, dark and deep-rooted, at times broadening out into a hymn, weaving into our fate as through a dream. The Lustful Mother's Heart is dedicated to violist Ellen Nisbeth, who also commissioned it.

What happened to the heart? It's the most important, beautiful, and sad question I've ever wondered in my life. AURORA

In April 2022, Aurora discovered a love letter to Earth, written by indigenous activists from Brazil. The letter was a plea for mankind to heal the land, reforest our minds, and celebrate our connection to Mother Nature. The profound impression this letter left on Aurora became the inspiration for her fourth studio album, What Happened to the Heart?

Complete with full album lyrics and striking photography, this beautiful clothbound reproduction of Aurora's personal album notebook gives fans intimate insight into her creative process and takes readers on a journey through the human body as she seeks the soul of humanity.
