    GSOPlay: low fidelity

    A first performance that finally can meet its audience: Joshua Wat’s somber soundscapes, inspired by his native Hong Kong. Now streaming on GSOPlay.

    Please note: the clips of GSOPlay often have time limits. If this clip won’t play, it has probably been disabled for a shorter och longer time.

    Joshua Wat is a composer from Hong Kong. He has composed for orchestra, choir, various ensembles and solo instruments, as well as electronics. He has worked with ensembles like Norrköping Symphony Orchestra and Gageego!. He has won the Stellar Composition Competition with his Prologue to Neither Here nor There for solo marimba. His piano quintet Souvenir of Fallen Grace was a finalist entry in the O/Modernt Composition Award in Sweden. His viola quartet Vanity of Repetition was also selected to be performed at a concert by the Dutch Viola Society. Earlier this year he has been accepted into the Swedish Society of Composers (Föreningen svenska tonsättare).

    low fidelity was written under the guidance of Malin Bång and Ole Lützow-Holm in the composition courses at the Academy of Music and Drama of the University of Gothenburg. In this piece, Joshua Wat looked at transposing daily soundscapes in Hong Kong into music for flute/bass flute, bass clarinet, percussion, piano and cello. This results in a calm and obscure listening experience in contrast to the swarming life of the city.

  • GSOPlay: Tackatta

    GSOPlay: Tackatta

    In may 2020, Gageego! was scheduled to perform composer Nino Hellberg Håkansson latest work Tackatta. Restrictions due to the Corona pandemic undid those plans, but a concert was given nonetheless, in front of the Gothenburg Concert Hall’s sophisticated cameras and microphones.

    Now, this performance is available for a limited time below and on GSOPlay.

    Composer Nino Hellberg Håkansson is a methodical composer. In a master’s thesis, he has investigated how three of his compositions, using three different composition methods, are structured. The first one is to build the form of the work first and then the detailed material, according to this structure. The second is to work directly on small musical fragments that are later put together into a larger form. The third way is a combination of the first two, where one works with musical fragments while having a large form that they must fit into.

    Conclusion: to combine the first and second working methods to find a work process that is personal, while trying to innovate by working methods you are not comfortable with. The piece Tackatta was composed under the guidance of Malin Bång in the composition class at the Academy of Music and Drama at the University of Gothenburg.

    GSOPlay: Rosenberger’s Shift

    From a concert that never met a live audience, due to the pandemic. But here it is: Gageego! and conductor Rei Munakata perform Shift by Katharina Rosenberger.

    Swiss composer Katharina Rosenberger studied in Boston, London and New York and is currently active in the United States. She pays special attention to the works that move between the art forms with elements from concert music, musical theater, sound art and sound installations. Her work has been performed at concerts and festivals in London, Rome, Berlin, Prague, Marseilles and Shanghai.

    Her piece SHIFT for two trombones and ensemble was composed in 2016 and premiered in January the following year. One reviewer wrote that her music “seemingly exists in solid, liquid and seemingly gaseous states and on a myriad of planes in our spacetime continuum as we know it”.
