'Nach Aussen' is a contemporary composition for violin and live electronics, composed by Austrian composer Peter Jakober. The piece was composed in 2012 and premiered on November 23, 2012, at the Klangspuren Festival in Innsbruck, Austria. The composition consists of three movements, each exploring different sonic textures and timbres. The first movement, titled "Durchscheinend," is characterized by its ethereal and delicate soundscapes, created through the use of extended violin techniques and electronic processing. The second movement, "Gebrochen," is more aggressive and dissonant, featuring jagged rhythms and harsh, distorted sounds. The final movement, "Verdichtet," is a culmination of the previous two movements, combining the delicate and aggressive elements into a dense and complex sonic landscape. The live electronics component of the piece is an integral part of the composition, with the electronic processing of the violin sound serving to enhance and transform the acoustic sound of the instrument. The electronics are controlled in real-time by the performer, allowing for a dynamic and interactive performance. Overall, 'Nach Aussen' is a challenging and innovative composition that pushes the boundaries of traditional violin music. Its use of extended techniques and electronic processing creates a unique and immersive sonic experience for both performer and audience.
