Ohr is a composition for six instruments (Flute, B Flat Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Guitar, Cello and Double Bass), written between the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006. This piece is divided in three parts (Tranquilo, Energico and Tranquilo) which are not mandatory and which can also be played in another order. In Ohr, there is a coexistence of a diatonal grammar and an atonal non-serial style. The odd values and the simple proportions are the dominant structures. Sometimes the suggestion of a sound without control is present together with the idea of an acousmatic attitude. Paulo Brandão
