Programme notes:
In July 2009, Robert Casteels shared the daily life of the Akhas people in the village of Ban Saen Ja Rurn, high up in the mountains of northern Thailand. The ringing sound of the Akha voices singing across the valley impressed me greatly and gave me the idea to use a compositional technique of tinkling sounds, hence the title, Tintinabulum. The four initial notes are linked to the acronym of Crédit Industriel et Commercial – Singapore Branch, who commissioned this piece. The composer wishes to leave creative space for performers, who allowed to change the order in which the 6 variations are played.
