Gare de l’Est (Toivo Tulev)

is distinguished by a disjointed-expressionistic soundscape that the alternately slow-moving and ecstatically vibrating second intervals infuse with notions of waiting and weakening. One unresolved sonic complex lingers in the air until the final bars. Toivo Tulev: “Gare de l’Estis a name that carries a flavour of departure, arriving at home. It’s a Paris railway station. From there the trains leave for the east. In the hot summer of 1999, when I completed this piece, I once again came across these lines that I had read as a child – «The traveller has reached the end of his journey! In the freedom of Infinite he is free from all sorrows…»What a joy! …«The fetters that bound him are thrown away, and the burning fever of life is no more…»”.
The last lines, in English, are taken from Juan Mascaro’s translation of the Dhammapada.
