The Music Professor | Pawsitively Genius: Loki's Fur-ocious 'Microlude in A minor' @themusicprofessor | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 hour ago
In an epoch of transcendent musical innovation, Loki, the prodigious canine virtuoso, has bestowed upon the world an opus of unparalleled ingenuity: "Microlude in A minor". Here, an appearance of simplicity and artlessness masks the complexity within. A close examination reveals the canine's command over an intricate melange of polyrhythmic structures, and pitch material which oscillates between fragments of post-serial chromatic saturation and traces of post-minimalistic meandering.
It is difficult to locate Loki's work. It presents a mesmeric auditory experience that challenges the realm of human creativity. His music's intricate combination of hocket and a subverted retrograde inversion (which never fully reveals itself) and weaves a tapestry of almost random-seeming sonic patterns reminiscent of György Kurtag's most contemplative works. The Microlude in A minor pays enigmatic homage to composers like Gérard Grisey and Unsuk Chin, although Loki's favourite composer is Bach, and it's possible to read the microlude as a distillation of the great A minor fugue from book 1 of the Well Tempered Klavier.
The "Microlude in A minor" has garnered the admiration of lauded contemporary composers. Kaija Saariaho has praised Loki's unrelenting dedication to pushing the boundaries of metamusicality, while Arvo Pärt praised Loki's skill at compressing meditative qualities inherent in his tintinnabuli style into tiny structures. Richard Taruskin commented that no composer since Schoenberg's Op 19 has written so sensitively, and so radically for the piano, whilst Nico Muhly, captivated by Loki's delicate exploration of textural counterpoint, drew parallels to his own infatuation with the ethereal allure of English choral music. Like Muhly, Loki loves the music of Howells.
Loki's magnum opus, presented in the form of a pianistic reduction, is a testament to the universality of music, transcending the limitations of species, time, and convention. It is an emblem of the ever-evolving nature of art, as well as a beacon of hope for those who seek to redefine the boundaries of creative expression beyond the conventional boundaries and categories. The "Microlude in A minor" is a scintillating gem in the constellation of experimental compositions, a harbinger of uncharted territories of musical profundity, and of undiscovered possibilities beyond human thought..
