DESCRIPTION:
This is the first part of a piece by Malin Bång called Fireworks and Silver Birds, a piece for trio and electronics. This is how the composer describes the joint work in improvisations and workshops that starting in autumn 2007 led to her piece:

The group improvised on different types of movement as themes, which generated both gesture with a lot of friction and contrasting light, volatile parts. The musical content of the work emerged out of these meetings, and from influences from the traditional Vietnamese musical form ca tru. The text to the ca tru that I chose as point of departure is a symbolic ode to peace, with a hope for a constructive development of the country and a new strong community..
