Déjà vu
for kannel or harp and string orchestra

Déjà vu (2010). To organise material, I used a programming tool, where I set and change parameters, to get more raw material, which is then processed and changed. Orchestra have several starting points: Syncopated pizzicato (later this is also played sul ponticelli) follows the 'highlights' of the kannel part, to highlight them further. This creates an accentuated pattern that recurs in certain sections. This is why the piece is also called "Déjà vu", because there are several materials that occur from time to time, but slightly changed each time. So you get that recognizable effect (but it's real, not an illusion). These "points" marked by the orchestra are orchestrated in tutti, the harmony follows the series I have used as a basic material.

Long drone textures, based on free harmony, which has nothing to do with the series presented in the kannel part. The piece starts with an intro, where directly this material is presented. To give more mobility to these thick textures, I use crescendos and diminuendos, which appear and disappear differently in the different parts.

Later on, these long drones are transformed into shorter tuttis, which build up some kind of culmination to this work in a longer section consisting of several elements, put together of previously presented material.
