Guus Janssen / Calliope Tsoupaki

John Cage’s Dream is a piece that almost puts you in a state of complete tranquility, but in which small events have major consequences and continue to demand attention.

When I was 27 by Calliope Tsoupaki for double bass and viola – for which the composer had even designed a separate lighting plan for the two players – a subtle game is played with alternating melodies and virtuoso rhythms.

14 variations on a silent theme is a fresh work for piano in which composer Guus Janssen plays an extremely refined game with the silent theme that, in the end, sheds a sparkling light on the preceding in all its simplicity.

When you think of Indonesia, the spicy scents of the oriental kitchen probably come to mind. But perhaps also wajang puppets, chirping monkeys swinging through the jungle, or a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Or the traditional dances in beautiful clothing.
