{"content":"\n    <div class=\"detail-content\">\n        \n        <strong>About work:</strong> <p>The conception of <em>Time and Distance</em> for solo cello (2001) grew out of a particular visual image: “I pictured a large object of an indeterminate shape, which I’m observing from various distances in various modes of time (slow motion, accelerated, regular), from various angles. The introduction represents a view from space, where the object appears as nothing more than a thin line (long sustained tone, non-vibrato). Its features are gradually becoming more and more distinct as we get closer. The opposite view would be a microscopic view, showing the grittiness of this texture, even the molecular structure itself and a general instability – represented in this case by harmonics, glissandi, and so on. Several sections of this composition could be summed up as a collage of simultaneous views from varied distances in ‘various times‘, which would explain the constantly changing textures and the quick succession of fragments of extremely contrasting materials. I have a feeling this piece might make a good soundtrack for a abstractionist video. My intent here was to create something that could be best described as ‘musical cubism‘.“</p><br>\n        <em>(author, in: booklet of the CD \"Slovak Cello Music\", Diskant DK-0069-2131, p. 4.)</em><br>\n        <br>\n        \n\n        <p>\n                <p><strong>First performance in Slovakia</strong></p>\n                \n                \n                14.11.2002,\n                New Slovak Music,\n                SK\n\n<br><span class=\"type\">Performers: </span>Ján Slávik (vc)\n                <br>\n\n\n            </p>\n    </div>\n"}
