Nick Norton - Four Calm Interludes

My Review:

On Sol is the fourth of the Four Calm Interludes composed by Nick Norton.

As its name indicates, the piece has been composed from notes of the seventh chord on the G note.

The composer, in this case, plays with the intensity of the sound and long silences, since, in a symmetrical way, a crescendo and pauses that are less and less long are produced and, towards the end of the work, a decrescendo and increasingly longer pauses.

About the composer:

The composer states that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, he fell into a severe depression that led him to completely distance himself from music (not only did he stop composing it, but also listening to it). Until, one day, upon listening to the music of the Japanese composer Hiroshi Yoshimura, he began to be inspired to compose these Four Calm Preludes and reconnect with music.
