Par VAN NUETEN GUY. Contact by Guy Van Nueten originated from the feeling of being abandoned, such as a person who treks through a barren desert following a great disaster and asks himself if there's any point in carrying on when every day brings just more of the same - still more desert. I suspect that each of us has such a desert within himself, but that it depends on circumstances whether or not we choose to make the journey through it. Contact lays out a path that we can share. This music seems especially romantic to me, in the sense that the sounds have much to say about loneliness. There are moments where this album emphasises its own seriousness, then immediately afterwards invites us todance. Contact sticks out a hand, sometimes two, mostly to show the internal process of the composer - firstly the lack of fire and the abandoned longing for this, followed by the bewilderment that there is something that is still smouldering and that can be fanned into a blazing forest fire to burn away all the pain of desolation. For this reason it is also moving music - because it wants the recognition of the listener, wants us to feel our own desolation while the piano explores further depths and heights. At times a composition is almost carelessly abandoned and another one begun. Whoever looks closely at feelings and is honest with himself and the world is always a little cruel. But finally there is an end to that desert - he sees an oasis and also a beautiful hotel. Upon entering, he sees no-one, not even at the desk, but the reigning play of light and colour is of an otherworldly power. Maybe no other people are needed here and the beauty that prevails is enough. Then sounds of music arise and some people move across to the immense hall where a wing has been set up, behind which a man is sitting, his fingers moving across the keyboard. And only one thing is real: after desolation comes comfort. That person is you and that person is me. And that music is called Contact, directly from the soul of Van Nueten.

One other thing -- any pianist, no matter his/her approach, will gain insight into what will surely be new and exciting musical directions.

Piano Solo-Programme noteConte op. 27 was commissioned by the Sibelius Academy of Helsinki to be one of two interchangeable obligatory contemporary numbers in Maj Lind Piano Competition for young talented Finnish pianists. I wrote the piece in the beginning of the year 1985; the competition took place a year later.?Conte? is the French word for ?a story? or ?a fairy tale?. This does not mean that I am trying to tell any specific story with the music. The title refers to two things mainly. On the one hand both the harmonic and the textural colouring ofthe piece are connected with the world of fairies and trolls. On the other hand musical ideas in this piece are treated in a way which inevitably brings to my mind the oral tradition of story-telling ? formally speaking. Conte has ties with the ways in which rambling fantastic stories are told. The small musical cells are like persons in a story more or less important and every story has its own fate. These individual fates collide with each other in a more or less random capricious way and cause continuously new situations for the principal figures. The net is always moving ? after all no one can be the same before and after an important meeting.On the level of the sounding surface I guess that the most important feature of Conte is a certain nervousness a kind of electric swarming which is due to the characteristics of the chosen material itself. Nor do the stories of a good story-teller get stuck.Jouni Kaipainen
