The afternoon chapter of Octavian Nemescu's Music of the Hours, the "music for descending" that accompanies the day from four to seven in the evening. The titles turn into anagrams of themselves (ITRIssonumBE oder SsonumBEITRI), and the pieces run up to 46 minutes, built from the same basic materials as the morning cycle: sounds, intervals, triads, held until they open up from the inside.
Between the hours come older works such as Gradeatia, Trisson, Ulysse and Combinaisons en cercles, which show how far back this archetypal thinking goes in his output. Published by Electrecord in 2017 as a four-disc box, with notes by the composer and artwork by Marin Gherasim. For anyone who has followed Horațiu Rădulescu and Iancu Dumitrescu, this is the other face of Romanian spectral music.
