The Score Follower video for August is now up! entropy IV: Fallouts was written by Tjan Yi Xuan<\/strong><\/a> as part of CSS’ Young Composers Forum<\/a> and was performed live at the Singapore Composers Festival<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n “Friendships in life go through a series of ups and downs, and unfortunately in some instances, fall apart due to conflicts, ideological differences and much more. Such fallouts cause complex feelings and issues when a third party, still amicable with the estranged pair, is “caught in the crossfire” of the unfolding “cold war” between the pair. entropy IV was written as a musical response to personal experiences of such breakdowns, and my desire for ultimate peace between all parties.<\/p>\n The music is centred around two notes, C and G, corresponding to the open strings on the viola and cello, beginning with a serene, atmospheric sound world. Bit by bit, differences appear, first in timbre, then in pitch content, evolving into a blend of complex, dissonant harmonies and noise-sounds. At a certain point, the emotional weight of the “cold war” becomes so difficult to handle that the third party \u2014 now a mediator \u2014 starts getting weary, eventually giving up. The polychords develop into tone clusters, and “horror-reminiscent” chime sounds are introduced and gradually distorted, reaching a maximum point, where the electronics come to a halt.”<\/p>\n The Score Follower video series features new works by Singaporean composers every month.
