Duration 8:30 min.
First performance on April 8, 2007, in Stockholm, Sweden by the Curious Chamber Players, Rei Munakata, cond.
The Curious Chamber Players, an ensemble focusing on the exploration of truly experimental sound and noise, asked me to write a new work back in 2007. They were probably totally shocked when I delivered the score of Broken Flower. With its repetitive, even minimalistic structures and simple, transparent melodic lines it was indeed ”something completely different”. So typical of me: to do the opposite of what is expected.
