Work note by the composer:
Muramaris means literally "the herd by the sea". It's an artist's residence (10 km from the town of Visby) in which was built some years after the turn of the 20th century. With its very ascetic frontal and its beautiful interior, you will get a feeling that it is soon going to collapse! The music starts from nothing and is projecting towards different directions in a surrealistic world. You will also find a fireplace made by sandstone and a sculpture portraying "the goddess of love", which is struck by the last sunbeams during midsummer time. If you touch these items unnecessarily they will break down and vanish like a desert storm.
Muramaris was composed during summer 2000 in Visby and partially at home in Malmö.
This piece is dedicated to the composer Mattias Svensson, teacher and head master at the Gotland School of Composition.
