The London Sinfonietta<\/a> will be performing two newly commissioned short pieces by Isambard Khroustaliov<\/a> on the 21st October and 5th November entitled Obsolve and Zoetrope. Obsolve is scored for solo percussion with amplification and Zeotrope for quintet (clarinet, violin, horn, ‘cello and flute). <\/p>\n

Commissioned as part of the Sinfonietta’s Writing the Future<\/a> scheme and drawing on previous written work with instrumentalists (documented on the album Ohka<\/a>), they represent some tentative first steps into the world of contemporary composed music without the use of digital sound processing. The scores for both works are available via the links below.<\/p>\n
