That All Changes (2014)

fOR GUITAR

THAT ALL CHANGES is a short piece that explores the more percussive side of the guitar. The piece starts with a short statement that soon forms the basis of an ongoing stream of melodic semiquaver figures, taking twists and turns via different style quotations and jazz licks. At the end of the piece, the guitar is almost fully transformed into a percussion instrument; the tonal material from the beginning is still there, but bares little to no function anymore.

THAT ALL CHANGES (2014)

“For a long time, I have cherished the idea of making of an album dedicated to Dutch compositions written for the classical guitar.

During my studies at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague between 2008 and 2014, I developed a strong curiosity about the relationship between creating and performing musicians, in current times and in the past. To expand my knowledge on this topic, I worked with living composers whose collaboration I dearly treasure.” – Martin van Hees

Performed by: Martin van Hees.

Recorded by: TRPTK (TTK 0030)
