Makassar - Life & Wood

Demo-Score

Soundfile

This magnificent piece of music describes the diversity and unpredictability of an individual's life: fear and strokes of fate as well as hope, joy, sorrow, courage, and love. A never-before-seen wooden instrument of the same name was built especially for this piece. As a pure rhythm instrument, played at times by the entire orchestra, it represents the rhythm of life into which every person is inevitably "forced."
