Trio

Instrumentation: for flute, marimbaphone, vibraphone and persussion instruments

The completely dissimilar sound generation of flute and percussion, for example with regard to the acquisition and decay times, formed an important compositional aspect while working on this new ouvre.
This dissimilitude, by analogy, is also transferred to the temporal configuration insofar as the rhythmical form of extremely tight motorical passages ("moltoritmico") ranges over diverse intermediate stages to flexible handling parts ("tempo fluido") producing, thereby, tightly packed episodes with highly differentiated timbral play alongside processes where virtuosity in the traditional sense is central. It is so that the trio produces in quick succession various states, which are highly demanding for the interpreters, with regards interaction and playing technique.

In the Inuit language the word "Alinnik" means point of no return, irreversibility, break. Greenland's Inuit are a population with an extremely original cosmogony based on the relation between sun and moon. Their view of the world is completely coherent in itself, mediated by shamanism but seems utterly unordered and chaotic from a perspective based on Descartes and western ideology. Some 200 years ago, tradesmen and missionaries set out to cultivate this population, which now has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. A culture - a way of thinking, feeling and acting - in a process of destructuration if not destruction, heading towards a point of no return.
