Vivid Forgetfulness is a focused-listening composition for accordion (Sergei Tchirkov) and chaotic live electronics (Tijs Ham). The score consists of a meshwork of bifurcating trajectories, guiding each performer and the audience through a maze of suggestions aimed at focusing and fine-tuning their listening. Within this state of sonic awareness, there is a range of performative choices, steering the music into areas of tenuous friction, serendipitous support, or strange attraction, as the sequences of decisions poetically interfere with the sonic landscape. If a normative happens to be established, it is never there to stay, as the potential for disruption and collapse lingers just around the corner as a new set of instructions unfolds. Although one could trace around the bending paths in repeating cycles, the suggestions will always be met within a soundscape marked by difference, allowing the performance to evolve continuously until it reaches its eventual conclusion.
