about

Fie Schouten - (bass) clarinet
Eva van de Poll - violoncello
Keiko Shichijo - piano

Composed for and premiered by Fie Schouten, Eva van de Poll and Keiko Shichijo; dedicated to Tiepie van Zyl (1939-2021).

The decay of the piano sound (`this departing landscape’ in Morton Feldman’s words) and its overtones, caused by using the sustain pedal and (silently depressed) tone clusters, functions as the upper layer in this work. The two other instruments are used as a kind of timbral pigmentation of this piano resonance, although the (bass) clarinet and violoncello also colour each other’s shades.
From the beginning to the end a sequence-like, harmonic pattern - consisting of piano chords and tone clusters - is running through the work; so the lower layer of Oever is also defined by the piano. An extra stream of sound is provided by the violoncello whilst in some parts the (bass) clarinet has a more melodic, meandering role. The clarinet player is in these moments - so to speak - the figure in the landscape.
