Over the past century, attention to timbre has transfigured composition, and this concert is a testament to the variety of approaches taken in this area. Šenk and Taïra juxtapose different timbres, seeking contrast and perspective, while Blank, Saunders and Schnittke try to close the distance between instruments, merging them into a stream of metamorphic sound textures.
