Skepping 7 Intro |
The introduction to the soundtrack to a dance piece. "In the
beginning..." Music is sustained and feeling through the space
of what is to be. |

Skepping 7 Dag 1 |
The cello begins the work with a single note. The creation of
light. Music that makes the void palpable. Still the cello plays
that one single note. Sustained, controlled creation. Glittering
light, blinding darkness. Day and Night materialises. |

Skepping 7 Dag 2 |
The creation of Day 2 (the firmament and the waters) is coupled
with 2 melody notes played by the cello and synth sounds. Music
is amazingly built-up energy by the centralising on these 2 note-motifs. |

Skepping 7 Dag 3 |
Piece is intoduced by the cello by means of 3 notes. Creatin
of the plants - fruits and trees. The music becomes more gentle
and lyrical. a sense of beauty now becomes more manifest. Halfway
through the music becomes more ively while playing around more
with the 3-note motif. The last part returns to the gentle beauty
of the first part. A sense of nobilty enters with the appearnce
of brass instruments. It's with this part that the grandness of
The Creation becomes apparent |

Skepping 7 Dag 4 |
Piece is introduced by 4 notes played by the cello. The four
notes are soon played as the synthesized sounds and piano in repetitive
circles. Hypnotising effect. Halfway through the 4 notes are played
faster and the creation energy is slowly building up. The initial
4 notes' tempo is sustained throughout the music's undercurrent,
creating an irregular rhythmic effect against the faster moving
4 notes. The music becomes more dance-like and up-beat. The end
returns to the quiet of the beginning with added voices. |

Skepping 7 Dag 5 |
And once again the cello introduces the sequence of notes -
this time 5 notes - representing the creation of the animals.
Music is stirring with cellular division. Something is brewing.
Bird-sounds make their appearance. Later on the fish under the
sea. Warped sounds represent the water. The music's fabric is
teeming with crawling life. Now it is not only the sounds of the
musical spheres, but that of the birds. The music takes on a beauty
never known of before this day. The end of the piece becomes pure
living music and rhythm. The harmonic fluctuations created by
the 5 notes repeated on different tonal levels is amazing. |

Skepping 7 Dag 6 |
The creation of the sixth day by means of 6 notes! Creeping
creatures - like pigs, monkeys, elephants, hippos - make their
appearnce. Music takes on a more exulting form - by means of percussion
and trumpets. Almost halfway, the music suddenly stops and only
night sounds, like crickets and frogs,are heard. Now is the time
for the creation of Man and Woman. The music starts with a gentle
up and downward movement of the 5 notes. The beaty already embodies
something melancholic and yearning. The music last part is a celebration
of mankind - ecstatic and passionate. Before the end of the piece
the music spells something ominous - erratic marimaba and cello
playing, but is soon taken away by peace and quiet. |

Skepping 7 Dag 7 |
The 7th day of rest. The cello and voices create a beautiful
dialogue. All is rest. The second half is the most exciting part
of the entirte creation. Music to dance to. An absolute celebration
of all that is alive! / AFR 'n ongegrendelde feesviering van alles
in die Skepping, waar die HA!Man nie anders kan as om te DANS!
