- Aleatoric Anthems and PalindromesAleatoric Anthems and Palindromes is a collection of music composed by Lars Bröndum 2020-2021. The music was performed by the Aleatoric Chamber Ensemble: My Eklund, Per Gärdin, Lisa Ullén, Lars Bröndum, Daniel Borgegård Älgå. The CD is selection of remixes from the 6 volume anthem suite and also features new music, such as, Three Variations on an Aleatoric Anthem and Palindromes.The idea behind the Aleatoric Anthem project was to create ironic anthems as a commentary on the unfortunate resurgence of nationalism during the Corona pandemic. New ironic anthems were generated for all countries in the world from a one page graphical score. The existence of national anthems thus becomes meaningless since all the anthems are variations on the same piece. Most of the pieces were generated using different aleatoric methods - either with a computer program I assembled entitled “Anthem Generator” or as indeterminate live performances. The piece Three Variations...” is a development on the anthem idea in a more extended format, and scored for live ensemble. The Anthems for Mauritius and Paraguay on this CD differ from the original suite, since they are here live recordings over fixed media. The original 6 volumes with aleatoric anthems can be found here : larsbrondum.bandcamp.com Palindromes“Palindromes” is a suite of ten short pieces. It is a graphically notated score with indeterminate elements in that the palindromes may be played in any direction. That is, original, inversion, retrograde or in retrograde inversion. The parts may be played in any order. Each palindrome has the duration of approximately 2 minutes. Here the suite is arranged for saxophone, live electronics and fixed media. It is here divided into two suites: Palindromes 1-5 and Palindromes 6-10.
