Euphorbia
The title, ’Euphorbia', relates to the flower Euphorbia Palustris. It is one of 66 deadly poisonous plants in Denmark. It is beautiful and very common. In the piece I wanted to transform the effect the poison would have one a human if someone ate it.
’Euphorbia' is written in 2010 for 7 musicians in different versions. One of the parts has been written to be played by 3 different instruments and the electronics can be played either with Max/MSP with all effects live or with soundfiles played from a computer or a sampler keyboard.
The instrumentation of ’Euphorbia’ is:
Flute, Clarinet, Percussion, Zither or Grand piano (prep.) or Electric guitar, Violin, Cello & Live-electronics or Pre-recorded soundfiles
The piece has gotten a prize from the Danish Art Council and also been recorded at dB Productions with ensemble Curious Chamber Players with the conductor Rei Munakata.
Euphorbia is a part of my flower serie ”Flora". Other pieces in that serie are LoveendL, Sigh, R. Tilia!, Aq-V-le & Myosotis.
