The chamber score

Canto Ostinato

Simeon ten Holt · 1976–79

A republic of repetition. The gherkin of Dutch time.

An original chamber arrangement in the climate of the work. The recording is not a copy. It is the room answering.

Why it is here

The UNESCO modernist factory, a monument of social-industrial architecture.
