In 2010 I was commissioned by the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague to write a piece for the public opening ceremony of the school term 2010-2011. I decided to set up something big and started to call a large number of musicians that I knew to form a large ensemble - singers, wind players, string players, percussionists, guitarists and pianists. In this way I brought together a large ensemble of 55 people in total.
The piece that I wrote for this ensemble, Light beams drifting into a corroded disagreement, can be divided into a number of tableaux or situations that are often linked with each other in an associative manner. Also the phenomenon of the concert ritual is being tested, highlights include a vuvuzela-moment (which is a kind of horn that produces a loud monotone note which was very familiar for many people due to its heavy use during the soccer championships at the time) - without the use of a real vuvuzela; and, at the end of the piece, a surprising reversal of roles between the ensemble and the audience - that I'm not going to spoil here yet.
