gramme Note: The name
Event Horizon was coined
by the brilliant British
physicist Stephen Hawking
to describe the
circumference of a
so-called black hole, the
remains of a collapsed
star with a gravity-pull
so powerful, so that not
even light can escape
from it. This 5-minute
study for piano has -
needles to say - nothing
to do with black holes,
but the term event
horizon fascinates med
and strikes me as
near-perfect description
of virtually any stretch
of organized sound
evolving in time, e.g. a
musical composition with
a strong linear focus. So
- Event Horizon it is, as
seamless composition of
high density, evolving in
three parts:
swinging-ricocheting-swee
ping, amusical journey of
speed, from fast to
furiously fast, a study
based on a high
economical compositional
material constantly
renewing itself, the
hands running parallel,
separating, meeting
again. The discreetest
use of pedaling is
advised ... Poul Ruders
