“Musicians in the Assembly Hall are located unusually. It is an “inverted” concerto: the conductor stands behind the audience and invisibly controls the musicians. The performers sit not only on the stage, they, in fact, “encircle” the entire hall with sound. The movements of sound create the geometry of sound space, which is graphically notated in the score (the musical text is folded into patterns, the location of which indicates the movement of sound in space). The piece “After” is my reaction to the devastation and crisis – of identity and self-identity.” (Vladimir Gorlinsky)
