Urban Turban
McGowan, N

Written around ten years ago, Urban Turban (here arranged for flute and piano) contains many compositional ideas I later explored in many works. As with most pieces, the writing process begins with a single idea which, as it is being worked out, leads to the next. With Urban Turban that first idea was to compose a fast theme that passes through various different harmonic and meteric areas. The nature of that material - a burst of notes and rhythms within a short amount of time - asked for a strong contrast to follow it. . . . which became silence, placing a focus on the theatrical aspects of live performance. Throughout, the special color of unisons plays a reocurring role. Some of Urban Turban s other inspirations are music from the Balkans and India, jazz, John Cage, Loos, Rudiger Meyer, Musicquantics, serialism and the note E.
