Once I thought a lot about the Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson, and in particular the stack of concertinos (Opus 45), for many orchestral instrument solo and amateur orchestra, he wrote between 1954-57. "If he could, so can I", was my direct thought. This was in 1984, and I started the "Av Tankar"-serie (Av Tankar = Because of thoughts) for Solo Instrument and String Orchestra, starting of with No.1 for Cello (to Louise Agnani), No. 2 for Flute (to Ulrika Ekblad), and No. 3 for French Horn (to Madeleine Dahlberg)... And after that... Complete silence!!! I did not get any further with the project, and it went into a kind of concious slumber. After 13 years sleep, I once again started the project, this time to re-compose the three pieces in to a bit more (at least for me personally) playable (both technical and compositorical) style. This time starting backwards, with "Av Tankar 3", transforming it to "Impulse 3". In 2004, I transformed "Av Tankar 1" to "Impulse 1", and "Av Tankar 2" is yet to be transformed to "Impulse 2". And after that...? It can be, that I complete my original intention, to compose a brother-serie of compositions to the Lars-Erik Larsson serie. But future will show. Keep in touch!!
