The piece is a stream of impressions coming to one's mind, where the direct relation between one event and the next can seem irrational. But the sum of all events creates a certain soundspace, a certain direction. And,althoughfragmented, the form is the result of the interaction between three carefully calculated waveforms.
Stream was commissioned by the Cologne Philharmonic for the 1999 Bach Festival, as a part of a series ofconcertsfeaturing 6 leading cellists, each playing one Bach solo suite and one commissioned work. Composition commissioned by Koln Musik.
