Details

This composition explores twelve distinct musical elements, drawing from the composer's rock and prog-rock background while transcending conventional four-chord progressions. The work's structure emphasizes harmony, examining unique voicings and chords that reflect the guitar's specific capabilities. The term "Antiphōna" references the ancient Greek word for harmonies, and the piece employs modern antiphonal characteristics through instrumental interplay and harmonic clashes between two guitars.
