Program Notes:

 

Golden Aspen is the specie of the Pando tree. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000,000 kilograms (6,600 short tons), making it the heaviest known organism (for more information, click here). This kind of tree reproduces via a process called suckering. An individual stem can send out lateral roots that, under the right conditions, send up other erect stems; from all above-ground appearances the new stems look just like individual trees. Such as the tree, the piece Golden Aspen (for amplified flute and electronics) try to expend itself by the smallest musical ideas presented in the beginning of the music. The piece was composed in the composer’s personal studio and in the Research Center of Contemporary Music of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte/Brazil).
