Vladislav Shoot - Music

Music

The works of Vladislav Shoot have met with much admiration in the West since the 1980s. Shoot prefers smaller ensembles up to the quantity level of a chamber orchestra which he ties into sound compositions or groups of overlapping sound layers. He retains serial processes, uses post-Romantic elements, and quotes composers of the past. Shoot allows the performers of his works a certain freedom of interpretation within the bounds of a controlled aleatoric technique.

His music has been performed at numerous venues and festivals throughout Europe, as well as in South Korea and the United States. The music written in the UK has been performed by leading British ensembles and orchestras, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and Sinfonia 21.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    The first condition for making music is not to make a noise.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    Yes; as the music changes,
    Like a prismatic glass,
    It takes the light and ranges
    Through all the moods that pass;
    Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)

    Good-by, my book! Like mortal eyes, imagined ones must close some day. Onegin from his knees will rise—but his creator strolls away. And yet the ear cannot right now part with the music and allow the tale to fade; the chords of fate itself continue to vibrate; and no obstruction for the sage exists where I have put The End: the shadows of my world extend beyond the skyline of the page, blue as tomorrow’s morning haze—nor does this terminate the phrase.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
