All things are to be left incompl.er et performanceværk af den walisiske komponist Joss Smith og Ensemble Transduct. Fire musikere omgiver en lysende rød boks. Boksen spiller musik for musikerne, og de spiller musik for kassen.

Uanset hvor langt musikerne er nået at komme med deres optræden, skal de stoppe, når først boksen overdøver deres spil. Ved at udnytte den spænding, der udspringer fra forventningen om enmusikalsk forhindring, der kan komme når som helst, bringer all things are to be left incompl...
skønheden frem i det forbigående. Selv i en situation, hvor alt materiale har en kort levetid, er der måske stadig plads tiludvikling eller overraskelse?Som
komponist er Joss Smith især interesseret i at udfordre
forventninger, opfattelser og traditionelle kompositoriske forløb. I
sit arbejde, der både omfatter instrumentelle- og multimedieværker,
er en sammenhængende faktor et fokus på at opbygge spændinger ved
hjælp af små ændringer. Ensemble Transduct arbejder i krydsfeltet
mellem musik, teater og multimediekunst med en forkærlighed for det
absurde. Alle disse elementer - især udfordringen af
forventninger, spændingen og det absurde - er essentielle faktorer
iall things are to be
left incompl... - et
stykke, der omfavner og fejrer det flygtige.

all
things are to be left incompl... is
a performance piece by Welsh composer Joss Smith and Ensemble
Transduct. Four musicians surround a glowing red box. The box plays
music for them, and they play music for the box. No matter how far
along the musicians are with their performance, once the box drowns
out their playing, they must stop. Utilizing tension built by the
expectation of an incoming musical cutoff, all
things are to be left incompl... brings
out the beauty in transient material. Even in a situation where all
material has a short life, maybe there is still room for development
or surprise?
As
a composer, Joss Smith is particularly interested in subverting
expectations, perceptions, and traditional compositional
trajectories. Working with both instrumental and multimedia works, a
linking factor of his work is a focus on building tension by way of
the insistence on small changes. Ensemble Transduct works at the
intersection of music, theater, and multimedia art with a penchant
for the absurd. All these elements - particularly the subversion of
expectations, the tension, and the absurd - are at work in all
things are to be left incompl...,
a piece embracing and celebrating the ephemeral
