Pure Bliss - Sara Glojnarić
builds a snapshot-like, polaroid-style sonic catalogue of Klangforum Wien’s and my own personal favourite, goosebump-inducing musical moments from our personal histories. The piece sources its material from a multitude of aesthetic directions representing a long timeline of music history, all tied together in one musical work that time-freezes heart-wrenching acoustic moments. It explores the search for never-ending sonic pleasure, for prolonged ecstasy and moments of pure bliss.
The piece was commissioned by Wien Modern and premiered by Klangforum Wien under the baton of Tim Anderson. With each guest conductor, the work slightly changes, as each new conductor gets to put their own goosebump-inducing acoustic moments from their personal history into the music.
