about

In the piece "I Guess I’ll Have To Dream The Rest" I wanted to keep the original musical energy - from the conception of the idea through to the finished work. I would gain this through analyzing my own musical subconscious before it came into contact with the waken intellectual awareness - of course influenced by ideas derived from psychoanalysis. In order to make the path from idea to sounding results as direct as possible, the work was written for piano solo, and based on piano improvisations. The improvisations were analyzed, processed and restructured.
During the composition process, so many layers of structural complexity were accumulated that it approached an unplayable level. But instead of rejecting the material in favour of a more feasible score, I decided to write the piece with a recording in mind. The piece was composed as a collection of small parts. These 298 parts were recorded separately and then assembled in the editing process. Thus, the high level of complexity was still feasible.

I Guess I’ll Have To Dream The Rest was composed in 2000 and recorded 20 - 21 January 2011 at the Henie-Onstad Art Centre. Ellen Ugelvik: Piano. Cato Langnes: Recording, Mixing. Asbjørn Blokkum Flø: Recording, editing.
