Statement
I understand musical form as a living architecture. A work may begin with the rhythm of a sentence, the memory of a colour, a physical gesture at the piano, or a visual image whose internal motion can be translated into sound.

About
About Artūrs Rasa
Artūrs Rasa is a Latvian composer and pianist whose work grows from a close relationship between musical structure, spoken rhythm, memory, and visual imagination.
His music moves between tonal resonance, concentrated motivic development, layered vocal textures, and a strong sense of dramatic form. Trained as a classical pianist, he approaches composition from inside the physical and expressive nature of performance. His catalogue includes works for piano, chamber ensembles, voices, choir, film, and stage.
