Koululauluja
2013
A composition for students in Rauma. Several phrases lifted from a Koululauluja (Student Song Book) found in a thrift shop in Rauma Finland. The phrases are very simple, designed to be played by students at any skill level. The "score" is given as a drawing, pictured left. Each student is asked to play their phrases as fast as they comfortably can and then slowly space the notes out further and further, like ripples in water.
