Premiere of new commission to the Swedish composer Christer Lindwall, a long-term collaborator with Stefan Östersjö, this piece is the latest expression of their joint exploration of the 10-string guitar and the 11-stringed alto guitar. In a performance with the leading Swedish chamber ensemble Gageego, conductor Rei Munakata, recorded by SR P2, "Sometimes standing in the void, sometimes shivering in the open" constitutes an important contribution to the collaboration between Östersjö and Lindwall, launched in the late 1990's. 

”Sometimes standing in the void, sometimes shivering in the open”

The second in a series of pieces based on Samuel Beckett`s development of different language levels.

Gilles Deleuze writes in his essay ”The exhausted” about image-ritornellos that run throughout Samuel Beckett`s books. In First Love, ”he” watches the sky as it comes and goes, and ”she” sings in a low voice. The image is not defined by the sublimity or its content but by its form, that is, by its ”internal tension”, or by the force it mobilizes to create a void or to bore holes, to loosen the grip of words, to dry upp the oozing of voices, so as to free itself from memory and reason: a small, alogical,amnesiac, and almost aphasic image, sometimes standing in the void,sometimes shivering in the open. The image is not an object but a ”process”.
