Description
Dhamar was composed for two instruments that are connected in many different ways. The piece experiences the confrontation of two individualities; at the same time, however, both instruments can blend so intimately that they no longer can be separated from one another: as solos and duo the try to develop into a new instrument. A voyage full of intimate and poetic, colorful and rhythmic complexities emerges from this configuration.
The musical material is characterized by frugality. The title refers to a Tala from India: the rhythm corresponds to a structure which is split into 14 units in the order of 3+4+3+2+2. This Tala appears subtly and transformated at various moments during the composition.
