Ainolnaim Azizol has scored another win with his work for flute and eletronics 'JuliJuli', which has been announced as one of two winning works selected for the 2nd MA/IN ~ Spaziomusica Commission in Italy.Ainol's work was selected from among 291 works from 44 different countries received by the festival organisers.
The other winning work was Sergio Andrés Santi's (Arg) work titled 'Uira'.
'JuliJuli' is a 7 minute work for amplified alto flute with vocalisation and electronics.
The composer writes, “The piece is inspired by the narrative of a Malay folklore, Jula Juli Bintang Tujuh. The piece starts with background gestures and later introduces the middle ground both by the alto flute and voice.”
“The foreground is established by the emergence of the electronics part. The alto flute and voice is considered as anthropophony, and the electronics part is formulated with Malay gamelan instruments, including biophony and geophony elements, which reflects the identity of the narrative.”
The work will be performered by flautist Enrico Di Felice at the MA/IN 2018 [MAtera INtermediaFestival] from 3-8 October 2018 in Matera, Italy. (Also visit the festival Facebook.)
Ainolnaim's achievement marks another accolade in Ainolnaim's growing list of successes, from 3rd Prize at the New Recorder Music festival in Lausanne in 2016, 2nd Prize Tokyo in 2014 at the Asian Composers League Young Composers Award and third prize in the Eight Bridges new music festival in Cologne in 2012.
