“Part of my musical philosophy is to be like a magpie, selecting things I like and arranging them into collections. Starting from a broad repertoire, I use the timbres of multiple keyboard instruments, and connect it all together with improvisation. The idea behind ‘Old. New. Borrowed. Blue.’ is to extend this approach to my favourite string ensemble, CAMERATA BERN.
Old is represented by the baroque repertoire (Georg Muffat and J.S. Bach) but also by Josquin des Préz, over which I’ll improvise.
New: I’ve composed a piece especially for the project, paired with Olli Mustonen’s composition.
Borrowed: I understand this term in the sense of curation – meaning, we borrow music by other people, we can use it and share it, but, as classical musicians, we are never truly the owners of others’ music.
Blue: Brubeck and Aphex Twin are easy fits here, but I also think of the Bach concerto as being ‘blue’, in that it feels bluesy, somehow. The idea that things may be bad right now, but the clouds will part (and then inevitably gather again…).” Anthony Romaniuk
With compositions by Bach, Scelsi, Brubeck and many more.
