Music for Small Wind Ensemble

"Music for Small Wind Ensemble" explores aleatoric techniques as a fundamental compositional principle, integrating both chance operations and guided improvisation to create a work that is never performed the same way twice. Using dice rolls to determine pitch and rhythmic material, the composition redefines the composer's absolute control over microstructural elements. This controlled randomness is contrasted with graphic notation, which grants the performers the freedom to shape textures, dynamics, and articulations in real time. The result is a dynamic interaction between the structured indeterminacy and spontaneous decision-making. By blending these approaches, Music for Small Wind Ensemble invites performers to become co-creators, balancing pre-composed constraints with interpretative agency. Each realization of the piece is a singular event — an ephemeral soundscape shaped by the moment, the ensemble, and the inherent unpredictability of the process.
