Programme note

The Curious Chamber Players, an ensemble focusing on exploration of truly experimental sound and noise, asked me to write a new work back in 2007. They were probably totally shocked when I delivered the score of Broken Flower. With its repetitive, even minimalistic structures and simple, transparent melodic lines it was indeed ”something completely different”. So typical of me: to do the opposite what is expected. :: Tomi Räisänen, 2021
