Impulse is the first composition of the trilogy. Two others are Pulse (2012 for violin, clarinet, and piano) and Pulseless (2017 for violin, cello, and piano). Nature, starts everything from full ideas and logical impulses that have certain parameters for certain creations. A single impulse brings energy for upcoming pulsations. Timing for pulsations depends on how forceful the impulse is. All parameters of this process are related to the first impulse, that is the creative energy of its life. The force of this energy creates and emits all upcoming pulsations and after all gradually fading, freezes in the pulseless condition and silence. All these actions are coded insde of the first impulse.
The recording I have used for this video was made during the rehearsal in Tbilisi. The performers were Adila Javadzade, piano and Nino Shamugia, violin. Maybe it is far from an ideal recording but it is very valuable for me because performers captured the spirit and emotional vibrations of Impulse. I was amazed by their artistic approach. You may listen to another version of the concert premier of Impulse on my YouTube playlist collections. The Baku premier performance was featured by Adila Javadzade, piano and Elina Aliyeva, violin.
