​Seven heavens (of different heights (and depths))

oboe, percussion, harpsichord and double bass
Seven heavens (of different heights (and depths)) was commissioned for Riot Ensemble and written in January 2018. The piece is divided into six movements, that are played through continuously: 

i. vetrarsólstöður
ii. second and third heaven
iii. seven heavens of different heights and depths 
iv. isola/alghero
v. sixth and (slightly) brighter (but dark af)
vi. seventh heaven

The piece deals with the idea of heavens not serving only as space and texture, but also intangible time capsules, each representing a little era on its own.
