About the album

Permutations is a new work by Freya Waley-Cohen, commissioned as part of a Aldeburgh Festival’s 2017 season and exploring the relationship between architecture and music. The music for six recorded violins, performed by Tamsin Waley-Cohen (Freya’s sister), has been composed in parallel with the design of six chambers, each housing one violin part. The chambers are adaptable, so that each audience member creates their own piece by the path they take through the space and the way they interact with the chambers. It is as if the structure was itself an instrument and the listener, their own performer. Born in London in 1986, Tamsin Waley-Cohen enjoys an adventurous and varied career. In addition to concerts with the Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and BBC orchestras, amongst others, she has been associate artist with the Orchestra of the Swan and works with conductors including Andrew Litton and Tamás Vásáry. She enjoys a duo partnership with Huw Watkins, whose
De première van Permutations voor soloviool
Permutations is een werk van Freya Waley-Cohen, gecomponeerd in opdracht van het Aldeburgh Festival 2017. Het verkent de relatie tussen architectuur en muziek.

De muziek voor zes opgenomen violen, uitgevoerd door Freya’s zus Tamsin Waley-Cohen, is parallel aan de vormgeving van zes kamers gecomponeerd. In elk van hen is één vioolpartij gehuisvest. De kamers zijn flexibel, zodat het publiek zijn eigen muziekstuk kan creëren door middel van het pad dat het kiest en de manier waarop het op de kamers reageert. Het is alsof het gebouw zelf een instrument is, en de luisteraar zijn eigen musicus.

In de zomer van 2017 zal dit werk in de vorm van een installatie op het Aldeburgh Festival staan. Het is mogelijk dat een deel van deze installatie in de toekomst ook naar andere locaties af zal reizen.
