about

Eva Kierten describes her music as ‘not concerned with narrative, drama or linear progression, but simply with motion, like the perpetual movement of stars around a fixed pole.’

The reference to stars is entirely apt for the two compositions on ‘Shattered Vessels’ — as her piano notes appear scattered across a great and silent darkness. The assembly may at first seem random, and certainly Kierten is not interested in conventional repetitions, or re-stating a particular melody, but repeated listens nevertheless evoke constellations of melody constantly shifting in space around a fixed tonal centre.

Referencing the overall title of the suite, we might also liken her hammer-like notes to infinitesimally small shards, endlessly reconfigured in a hopeless attempt to reconstitute the form of a lost artefact.
