“RIFT”, for wind ensemble, captures the essence of conflict, delineating an imaginary world where clashes and discordance are the norm. It depicts a tumultuous society on the brink of collapse; its very fabric woven with cracks and ruptures, mirrors the combative nature of its inhabitants.
With sparse moments of quietude, “RIFT” captures the relentless strife within this fictional world. The music becomes a vessel through which the tension, clashes, and fissures of this society are expressed, immersing the audience in a landscape where interactions shatter and rifts emerge at every turn.
Special thanks and kudos to Max Tfirn and Mark Reimer for organizing an AMAZING festival.
