Metaphonesis, 2001 – Jo Kondo

I respect each sound in music. Each sound must have its own entity and life. However, sound itself is not yet music. What I have been doing in my compositions is to create a web of intertonal relationships, while trying to safeguard the possibility of aurally perceiving the individual entity and life of every single tone (or chord) in that relationship, for it is this relationship that makes sounds music. The title Metaphonesis implies this belief of mine. This piano piece is dedicated to Eve Egoyan. ~JK

Metaphonesis was commissioned by Eve Egoyan with financial support provided by the Japan-Canada Fund at the Canada Council for the Arts.
