These are 2 versions of a piece for Brass section (4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba), timpani, bass drum and tam tam.
It is strange how this one came to be. I meant to write a piece for brass section, but not this one! This was just meant to be a preparation, an exercise in the sonorities, etc. I only meant to write some bars of different sounds. But somehow, in the end I turned it into a piece. But I want to write another one, completely different.
I am going to call this first piece "Tomorrow" - and the next one "Today". And together call them "Irreversible" - an idea inspired from a French movie I watched years ago.
From what I remember, the movie starts at the end of the story - something terrible happened, you have no idea what, you hear a horribly loud alarm, a body taken out from somewhere, etc. Then the camera starts to spin - like the whole world spins - and when it stabilizes again, we see what happened 10 minutes before. Then again, the "world starts to spin", and when it stabilizes we see what happened 10 minutes before that, etc, until the end of the movie. It takes a while until you understand what is going on, and there are some truly horrible scenes! But as you get closer and closer to the beginning of the story (and the end of the movie), the atmosphere is more and more peaceful and happy. However you know what is coming, you know what is going to happen - because it has already happened. It is irreversible!
The music for the pieces, is not inspired by the movie at all, but the first piece is very dark! And it has a fairly terrifying crescendo before the recap, I'd say - especially as it should sound played by a full brass section plus the percussion rolls! :)
"Today" will be very different though. But like in the movie, if the pieces were played together, I'd imagine "Tomorrow" played first, followed by "Today" - hence "Irreversible".
And as I used paintings for my previous soundcloud tracks and I liked it, I used Caravaggio's "Medusa" for this one.
