Program Notes
Time Spell uses transformed repetition as basic construction material. The structure of the work is very close to a ritornello where repeated moments are transformed to create the illusion of a constant development. The inspiration for this idea comes from the story of a man who is condemned to live the same day till the end of his life. Therefore he must invent new and different ways of overcoming the repetition and finding the new.
