Fascinated by the counterpoint between cello and speaking voice, Graham Waterhouse has already composed several works for this instrumentation. In this piece, the eight cello voices have now been expanded with eight speaking voices, so that a total of 16 voices form a diverse structure and harmony. The work is based on a bizarre and somewhat surreal poem, dominated by black humour, written by the Russian poet Daniil Charms. Comedy and tragedy are closely linked, leaving the audience both amused and shocked. The rich imagery meets varied writing and calls for a lively and imaginative performance. A video of the premiere with the Cologne cello octet ‘Celli con Carne’ can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gbeSsENNJU

Celleidoscope is a special composition for the 50th anniversary of the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker. The music is based on the idea of a kaleidoscope, in which colourful glass stones fall together differently each time they are turned, creating new images. The principle is adopted in the 12 cello parts: The instruments are arranged in a semi-circle and the musical building blocks run through the parts and are constantly rearranged, resulting in a unique music-playing and listening experience.
