Eden Lonsdale (Germany 1996): The Roar Of The World by International Young Composer Academy Ticino published on 2021-08-18T09:27:06Z Eden Lonsdale is a composer from Berlin (Germany) and a participant in the 5th International Young Composers Academy in Ticino. Eden Lonsdale studied composition at the Guildhall School of Music with Malcolm Singer, Cassandra Miller, Julian Anderson, and the Kunstuniversität Graz with Klaus Lang. Eden is fascinated by the never-ending depth of experience that can be discovered within a single sound. This reflects in his often slow or static pieces, whose focused sound-worlds invite the ear to lose itself within them. ‘’The Roar of the World’’ takes as its starting point the sound of the cello. Amplified to make even its quietest details clearly audible, we begin to discover ever deeper layers as a new world of sound lays itself bare from within. The other instruments in the ensemble pick up individual aspects of the cello’s sound and extend them in their own ways, giving subtle dimension to the sonic landscape and bringing to the foreground its most remote corners. In this sense, the music piece functions as a sort of sonic microscope, zooming deep into different details of the same sound and discovering within them a shifting sense of dimension and time.
