Prologue

2 - Mantra

Epilogue
Sacred Places II was inspired by Wim Henderickx’s experiences during his stay in Kathmandu, Nepal. The spirituality he experienced at various locations left a deep impression on him and the energy he perceived at the stupa (hemispherical Buddhist structure for meditation) of Bouddhanath has become the basic inspiration for this piece. The work has various energies; sometimes excited with an enormous rhythmical drive, at other times introspective, with a meditative atmosphere.
Various instrumental techniques are used, such as multiphonics for the saxophone, playing inside the piano etc.|
