Arrington de Dionyso • “Music for Two Bromiophones”
A tunnel is a wondrous place full of mystery and potential. Music for Two Bromiophones begins with the question: “what would be like to explore the acoustic resonances of a tunnel and how can this space bring about otherworldly music?” A bromiophone is a reed instrument created by Arrington de Dionyso’s that makes a thunder-like musical sound. In this short piece for two bromiophones, the score communicates feelings of yearning for freedom while being ever in awe of the great mystery of life that humans may never truly be able to understand. In Music for Two Bromiophones, de Dionyso explores the ways that music creates a sense of ‘sacred space’ that has the ability to transport a listener away from the day-to-day realm of the mundane, or what is perceived to be a ‘normal’ reality, and enter into new levels of both inner contemplation and energized activation of all the senses.

I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out. Richard Weems
